Commercial Recycling

Businesses operating in Lancaster are eligible to receive free commercial recycling services. As much as two-thirds of waste generated at a typical business site can be recycled and recycling helps keep trash out of the landfills and encourage business owners to reduce waste in the workplace.

California law requires all cities to reduce the waste they send to landfills by up to 50% - and pending legislation could increase the diversion rate to 70%.

Cutting down on commercial waste has many benefits for companies, including potential cost savings. By keeping items out of the trash, businesses should be able to cut down on the number of waste bins they need and limit the frequency of trash pickups, thereby saving money.

The program should bring into the recycling stream businesses that currently place recyclables in with their trash.

The recyclables that can be captured include cardboard, newspapers, glass, plastics and aluminum cans.

In addition, WM experts can coordinate the removal of the waste and recycling products, design removal programs that meet AB939 Recycling Compliance, address safety issues, and help with the billing process.

With a variety of roll-off containers ranging from 3 yards to 40 yards, no other waste company is more committed to your success than Waste Management!
