The larger the event, the more cost effective it can be to recycle.  If you are planning a small event, it may be economical to only recycle the aluminum cans, as these materials always seem to have some value in large and small markets.

We recommend the KeepTIdy 18” by 18” by 30” inch white corrugated box for municipal solid waste (MSW) as this garbage gets “wet” and often heavy.  We recommend the larger KeepTidy 24” by 24” by 36” box for recycling which tends to be lighter and bulkier.

We also recommend you purchase Contractor’s Choice 55 Drum Liners, CLEAR BAGS to use as liners inside these boxes. You can find this product at any large materials store outlet.  These heavy duty liners will hold the debris and enable you to remove it to the dumpster or roll off.  Then simply replace with another liner.  Maintenance folks often leave several liners under the original liner, inside the box, so a replacement is there when it is time to empty the trash box.           

Recycling can save you money. Responsible trash disposal shows the world that you care about the environment we live in.  Keep Tidy boxes provide you a simple solution to do both.

Recycling is not only the responsible thing to do,
it can save you money on your disposal costs.

Municipal Recycle Solutions

Recycling paper products saves you the landfill or transfer station tipping fee.  Recycling aluminum cans pays you money.  Check your local recycling centers to see if they have a program for reycling glass as well.

Recycling may be set up in two ways: using dumpsters and using roll offs.  Your local garbage company can set up an 8-yard dumpster for MSW (municipal solid waste) or garbage (essentially food stuffs).

A second dumpster can be set up for paper (and cardboard) products only. The dumpsters for the regular garbage (MSW) have side sliding doors or slant top lids.  The recycling dumpsters have narrow slits in front which force people to break down boxes before they insert into the dumpster. Bulky items will use up valuable space if not crushed.  A 30 yard roll off can be provided for aluminum cans. 

Your local garbage company will empty the MSW into frontload trucks as arranged.  They will bring their paper dedicated recycling truck to empty that particular dumpster.  The roll off will be “on call”.  When it is full of aluminum cans you can request a “pull and return” to bring it back to your event or a “final” when you are done. 

 If your event is large enough, you may set up roll offs for the MSW and recycling instead of dumpsters.  These containers are 20 feet long, 7’11” wide and 4 to 6 feet high.  They can haul large amounts of debris.

Recycling the paper and the aluminum cans will reduce your disposal costs.  Regular garbage (MSW) is more expensive to dispose of because of landfill and transfer station tipping fees.

Contact your local provider for recycle pickup in your area.
