NEW! City Of Annapolis Commercial Recycling Program

OPTIONS to RECYCLING - Lower Your Disposal Costs by:

• Recycling corrugated cardboard boxes.
• Recycling aluminum, steel, tin cans, glass bottles, plastic bottles, office paper, and newspaper.

Reducing waste makes good business sense. That's because every pound of waste you generate costs your business money. So it just makes sense that by reducing waste, you'll save your business money.

Waste reduction benefits the environment, too. It helps conserve natural resources and slows the depletion of valuable landfill space.

Be creative! There's a lot of opportunity to recycle and reduce waste in commercial sectors. Let your customers know about your successful program.

• Edible but unsaleable food can be contributed to a food bank.
• Use dry erase boards instead of printed daily specials.
• Encourage refillable containers.
• Replace incandescent lights with fluorescent lights.
• Reuse shipping materials.

Then, close the loop; PURCHASE RECYCLED PRODUCTS.

Recycling guides, free waste analysis, etc., for commercial businesses. This link also gives a terrific list where businesses or residents can donate reusable items (clothing, toys, furniture, etc.).
