Recyclables can only stack so tall…
                       

                                                       …before you need a bin. 

Are you wondering where to purchase collection containers for your recycling program?  Here are a few suggestions:

  1. Contact your recycling service provider.  Some recycling services may provide or attain bins for their customers upon request.
  1. For desk side bins, check with your office product supply company.  Most office supply companies carry standard small recycling bins.
  1. For larger bins, a wider variety, or if buying in bulk, you may want to research the options available from recycling bin manufacturers and retailers.  To get you started, below is a list of companies that market recycling collection containers manufactured with recycled content:
