Recycling

Groot Industries has made substantial investments in the recycling industry as it has evolved.

We feel we have played an important part in this evolution and will continue to explore new and innovative ways to collect and process all types of recyclable materials.

One of the best ways to promote and enhance recycling is by being able to provide user friendly, cost efficient programs.

From leaving caps on bottles to flattening cardboard, preparing recyclables correctly ensures a smooth recycling process.

Groot Recycling Preparation

Recycling Preparation

Prepare your recyclables the right way! Keep items loose in your cart, rinse them clean, and flatten cardboard. Follow these guidelines to ensure efficient and contamination-free recycling at your curbside.

All materials may be mixed together
Paper may be placed in paper bags (optional)
Do not “bag” other recyclables. Place them loose in the outside cart
Leave caps on plastic bottles and jugs. Do not flatten or crush.
Flatten cardboard boxes and place them inside your cart
Remove any non-paper packing material (such as bubble wrap, plastic film, wax bags, etc.)
Rinse items free of food and beverage residue
Keep the lid on your recycling cart closed at all times to keep materials dry

Again, please make sure all items are clean, loose, empty, and dry!
