Business Recycling Program
What Are We Doing?
Despite growing environmental awareness,
many businesses have not yet found an affordable
way to recycle. This leaves the job to
individual employees to separate, sort and
deliver recycling or to be frustrated for
contributing to an unsustainable waste stream.
Meanwhile there is large-scale unemployment,
making jobs even harder to find for the
chronically unemployed.
Our program mission is to start a recycling
program in which we will employ chronically
under/unemployed people in the greater Columbus
area to provide pick-up service to downtown
office buildings, businesses, restaurants and
bars.
What's In It For You?
By participating in the Columbus Green Works
recycling program, your business can reap the
following benefits:
Affordable alternative: The Columbus Green Works
recycling program may offer significant cost
savings over commercial recycling programs.
Reap marketing benefits: Demonstrate to your
employees and customers that recycling and the
environment are concerns your business supports.
Greenspot Designation: By participating in the
Columbus Green Works recycling program, your
business will satisfy the recycling component of
the Columbus
Greenspot program.
Employment Opportunities: Your participation in
the Columbus Green Works recycling program
provides employment opportunities for the
chronically under/unemployed citizens of
Columbus.
