The Recycle Cycle

REDUCE + REUSE + RECYCLE = REVENUE $AVING$


An example of how businesses can save with a strong recycling program:

This hypothetical financial institution generates 26 tons of waste and recycling a year. With a recycling rate of 67%, their weekly cost for disposal is $77. With no recycling, their weekly cost would be $200.


Reducing Waste Saves Money

• Re-examine manufacturing processes to reduce waste, or use the Hudson Valley Materials Exchange (845-567-1445) so your company's non-essentials can be reused by another.
