Why Recycling Beverage Containers is Important
Both glass and mixed beverage containers are banned from the landfill. Through modern sortation technology, each of the components can be separated and re-purposed into other products, saving space in our landfills and helping to protect natural resources.
- Beverage containers bare a deposit, by separating them you will recover their deposit value
- Improve your diversion efforts by recovering glass and mixed beverage containers for your waste stream.
- Remain in compliance with local landfill bans
Getting the Most from Recycling Beverage Containers
To get the most from a beverage container recycling program, please make sure all containers are empty and not broken before depositing.
Glass, Beverage & Mixed Containers
- All glass beverage and other glass containers can be put into the same bin.
- All metal, aluminum and plastic beverage containers can be deposited into the same bin.
- Each bin will be sorted and the value of the containers refunded, minus the cost of service.
- Non-deposit baring containers can be put in the same bin to be recycled but will decrease the value of each tote.
In addition, Urban Impact will charge for the non-deposit baring containers and reserves the right to refuse any bin.
Do NOT break glass bottles
Intact bottles help Urban Impact to
- Count the bottles during the audit and return the correct value to you
- Ensure that the bins are not too heavy
- Keeps our team safe from potential harm
Fewer bins and sortation requirements is likely a big help for our busy hospitality customers!
