Orange Recycling Services compresses the plastic film into densified bales.  These bales are then delivered to The TREX Company where they’re turned into composite deck boards or sent to other end users to be used for other materials.

Plastic bags are manufactured from petroleum and end up as waste in landfills and the ocean. These bags should never be put in with mixed recycling as they can cause equipment malfunctions at the recycling center.

Clothing and textiles that are in good shape are donated to community organizations for reuse locally. For items that are not appropriate for reuse, we partner with Green Zone to recycle the textile fibers into new products.

Textile waste occupies nearly 5% of all landfill space and only 15% gets recycled.

Our partner Orange Recycling Services densifies the Styrofoam. Densified blocks are then shipped to end market manufacturers to make things like plastic components, picture frames and building materials.

Styrofoam (EPS) is manufactured from petroleum, and like other plastic products, it is not easily biodegradable. EPS is also comprised of more than 90% air and fills up landfills and contaminates ecosystems.

We partner with Batteries Plus. Batteries & bulbs are sent to facilities where metals and chemicals are recycled, and harmful materials are properly disposed of.

Recycling batteries helps keep toxic metals out of landfills and helps prevent ground water contamination.  

Mercury containing light bulbs like CFLs can seep into groundwater. Phosphor, which is present in fluorescent bulbs and tubes, is toxic. Light bulbs contain valuable metals, glass and other materials that can be separated and recycled into new products.
