The Ins And Outs Of City Carting

Waste management is a beautiful thing -- one moment you’re wheeling a can full of recyclables to the corner and the next, bringing it back into the yard. It’s cool when a plan comes together like this and works, however we’re missing something in the middle of the story -- where the waste goes, and who takes it away. In this particular story, City Carting is at the center of the story, providing a number of different services to those looking to rid their home of waste without any hassle.

The journey starts where any other would, by placing your garbage outside for pickup. From here, it anxiously awaits pickup by one of the many City Carting trucks on the route for the day. Once this has been completed, the truck will venture off to other homes, collecting similar waste before it enters the City Carting facility.

From here, and depending on what type of waste it is, it will then go through a sorting process. For recyclables, this means that it goes through a system in which everything becomes sorted properly, before being totally recycled. Our single stream recycling center is one of the biggest around and plays a huge role in how the process is carried out.

When you’re finished with your typical waste system, we can also provide roll-off containers for those big projects and home remodels. One will be dropped off and picked back up once you’re finished, leaving you with no other job than to fill it up!

We’re proud to serve over 11,000 independant clients throughout the areas we serve -- our best services come in the form of being on-time and effective at what we do.

Providing homes and businesses with effective waste management is a service that City Carting & Recycling has been doing for over 35 years.

How Can I Recycle Smarter?

In terms of our home home waste, recycling is one of the most important things we can practice in order to keep waste levels down, while also doing something positive for the environment. In terms of what you actually do to recycle, results can vary, so it’s important to take note of what it is you might be missing, and how you can capitalize on what’s also important. Below are a few things that you might be missing, that you can take advantage of at home, work, and other places as well!

Recycle Your Greens

Waste is divided into two major categories. One being technical, and the other being biological. In terms of biological, these are things that at the end of the life in terms of being used for a purpose, can begin to decompose and return to soil. Kitchen waste and garden waste are both major examples and are great things to use in terms of recyclable waste. Additionally, a compost heap outside that sees more traffic can also add things such as newspaper into them, which will also eventually break back down.

Recycle Water

Though it’s pretty cold now, recycled water can help you save on your water costs, as well as help the environment. Try putting a bucket in your shower when you bathe, and let the bucket fill up. If you’re using a biodegradable soap, you can use this water to hydrate plants, or wash the exterior of your home. This goes for bathwater too -- it might take some time to scoop it out of the tub, but think about how much extra water you’ll be saving for other activities!

In addition to practicing at home, City Carting & Recycling can help haul away your other recyclables. Get in touch with us today and figure out how!
