The decision to recycle is a simple choice to properly handle the waste streams which we create. American Disposal Services is committed to the promotion, education, and implementation of recycling programs for all customers we service. ThinkBeforeYouThrow¨ is a reminder that we make choices every day that have a significant impact on our future. We ask you to join American Disposal Services in our efforts to ThinkBeforeYouThrow¨.

At our facilities, we have gone to great lengths to try and fulfill our goal of zero waste. We have implemented our own waste reduction program that monitors spending, consumption, and disposal habits. In partnership with many customers, we have made ThinkBeforeYouThrow¨ programs in many office buildings, Homeowners Associations, and municipalities possible.

For information on waste stream audits, recycling program setups, or educational seminars, please contact our customer service department at .
Single Stream Recycling allows customers the freedom of putting all of their recyclables into the same collection receptacle, without having to sort based on material type. The way it works is simple. American Disposal picks up your recyclables with a recycling truck and hauls them to a recycling facility. The material load is dumped and enters the sorting process. The materials are screened and separated by various manual and mechanical means. Once sorted by material type, the recycled materials are collected by a third party to be reprocessed and remanufactured into new, reusable products.

The benefits...
  • No need to source separate materials
  • Increases volume of recyclables collected
  • Reduces of waste entering landfills
  • Reduces disposal fees
  • Keeps communities clean with covered recycling receptacles
  • Collects items that were once unacceptable
