Recycling Perks for Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs hasn’t typically been known for our proactive recycling efforts or homeowner participation in trash recycling. Recycling is not required in Colorado and the trash companies often charge additional fees to have a recycle bin picked up. This has discouraged homeowners and business owners from taking the extra effort and cost to recycle. But a Virginia-based company has recently expanded to Colorado Springs and Denver which will reward homeowners for their recycling efforts and help the local economy by directing business and marketing to small businesses.
Recycling Perks Colorado Springs has a simple system summarized by their tagline, You Recycle, We Reward. Perhaps it’s what our city needs to encourage recycling: a very real and felt benefit. Recycling Perks partners with Waste Connections of Colorado Springs and local businesses to provide bonuses and perks for simply recycling at your home.
