How to Get Started

Step 1: Check your waste. If most of your waste is paper, cardboard, metals or plastic, your company will save money by recycling. Recycling rates are lower than garbage rates, so the cost of a recycling dumpster plus a smaller garbage dumpster is cheaper than what you are paying today.

Step 2: Research and contact one of the registered recycling haulers in Orange County.
