Cupertino Commercial Recycling, Compost & Garbage Services
Recology companies provide various resource recovery programs (i.e., recycling, composting) and garbage (landfill-bound) collection services to commercial customers.
Recology provides different sizes and types of carts, bins, debris boxes, compactors and balers to make sure each business we serve has the containers and equipment that meet their needs. Our number one focus is our customer. Recology strives to provide service at times most convenient for our commercial customers.
We understand the space constraints our customers face, so we take care to return containers we service to locations most convenient for the businesses we serve.
Recycling
Single Stream Recycling
You can now place all of your recyclables into one container. Commercial customers that subscribe to garbage collection service are entitled to Single-Stream recycling service at no additional charge.
By increasing recycling and reducing your garbage, it's possible to lower your garbage service level, which may result in cost savings. You can also show your customers, employees or tenants that you care about your impact on the environment and increase your visibility as a community leader. That is an opportunity you can't afford to pass up, which is why recycling is truly smart business!

Compost
Think there isn't anything you can compost? Think again!
Don't send your food scraps and organic material to the landfill; compost them instead. We encourage you to use Recology programs to start composting at your facility.
