When will the Almost Anything Bag be available?
Hopefully later this year. We are waiting to determine the level of interest from the community before proceeding.
How much does the Almost Anything Bag cost?
We are still determining the pricing but expect it to be approximately $16 per bag. Schools will be offered a free/discounted rate.
ReCo must distribute the bags, collect them, sort the materials, aggregate them at the warehouse, distribute them to our partners, pay in some cases to have the materials properly recycled, clean the bags, and cover other costs of running the service (rent, insurance, software, customer service, etc.).
May I charge for the Almost Anything Bag (example at my shop)?
Yes, but we encourage you to price it at $20 or less for accessibility.
Are there materials that ReCo accepts through the normal home-pickup that won't be allowed in the Almost Anything Bag?
Yes, some materials will be not allowed for safety: Batteries that are not AA/AAA alkaline (such as 9V, lithium, larger-sized batteries, and button batteries) must be avoided. Light bulbs that are not LED (such as compact fluorescent/CFL and incandescent) must also be avoided.
The Almost Anything Bag is only for Hard-T0-Recycle Materials and not Organics.
How big is the Almost Anything Bag?
About 50% larger than our standard canvas bags!
How do I order the Almost Anything Bag?
When it is available, you can create a business account and order the Almost Anything Bag through the portal.
Can individuals order the Almost Anything Bag?
Not at this time. You may find it at local retailers and service providers in the future.
How do my customers and clients know what to put in the Almost Anything Bag?
Each bag is labeled with a QR code to obtain simple instructions on what to include.
How do I request a pickup of full Almost Anything Bags?
You may request this through the portal, and we will add the pickup to our existing routes. You may need to wait up to two weeks depending on when the next route goes through your community. We will charge a small fee for pickups of just a few bags; larger pickups will be free.
