Our Recycling Process

Learn more about our recycling process at Recyclops, as well as how we benefit the community. 

Since 2014, Recyclops has been working to solve sustainability issues, starting with recycling in each of the communities that we operate. As Recyclops works to enter more areas around the United States, there are bound to be questions regarding our recycling services.

With that being said, one of our core values at Recyclops is transparency. We want all our customers to understand that we are here to help the communities in which we operate. The only way we can successfully do that is by being transparent in everything we do.

We continue to showcase information on our website and especially on the Recyclops Blog that is helpful for those wanting to understand how Recyclops operates. Additionally, this helps people see the difference that recycling can make in the environment and on those living in it.

Our Recycling Process.

In each of the areas in which Recyclops operates, we bring our core values of Transparency, Customer happiness, Community, Environment first, and Long term wellbeing. Each of these core values is seen through how we operate as a business and as a member of the community.

You can see if Recyclops is in your city by browsing or searching our locations here. From there, depending on your location, you can sign up for recycling pickups following a weekly or biweekly schedule from the comfort of your own home.

From there Recyclops works to hire drivers to pick up your recycling from those already living in the area to help feed the local economy. This is a win-win not only for you by reducing your carbon footprint, but also by providing extra income and jobs for your community.

Following your recycling pickup, the Recyclops Driver transports the recyclable material to our nearest Recyclops Facility. Our facilities use safe and tested procedures to sort all material, ensuring that it can be recycled and used again or disposed of properly.
From there the material is transported off-site to be recycled into new products or manufactured into materials to be used in the future across many different industries. This process ensures that waste is being diverted away from your local landfill, keeping your community clean and ensuring the availability of resources for new products and services.
