Zero Waste Services
for Businesses

Eco-Cycle is now offering a groundbreaking new alternative to traditional garbage collection service to businesses in Boulder and Broomfield Counties in Colorado!

Sign up for Eco-Cycle’s new Zero Waste Services program, which replaces garbage collection as you once knew it. Now we’ll collect 100% of your discards— recyclables, compostables, hard-to-recycle materials (like computers, stretch wrap, pallets, books & more) and “whatever’s left” – all for a price that’s comparable to what your trash/recycling costs are today!

Compostables

 

Container Labels

Do employees at your business get confused about which bin to use for which materials? Make it obvious with container labels for mixed paper & cardboard, commingled containers, compostables, paper towel waste only, and trash. Contact us to request labels.

 

Window Clings

Let everyone who walks in the front door of your business – from customers to employees – know that your business is working toward Zero Waste with Eco-Cycle with our new Zero Waste Community Partner window clings. Earn your stripes and as you make progress toward Zero.

Now you can earn the crowning jewel of all stripes - “We Use Zero Waste Purchasing Practices.” To ensure that all businesses displaying this stripe are really going above and beyond, we’re created a certification checklist for purchasers. Download the certification form here, have your purchasing department complete it and e-mail it back to us. Once we’ve received it, we’ll put the cling in the mail to you. Thanks for working toward Zero Waste by “going upstream” to reduce toxicity, close the loop and design your waste stream for compostability and recyclability with Zero Waste purchasing practices.
