Commercial Recycling Toolkit Debuts

Did you know that 50,000+ of Philadelphia’s businesses are required to recycle?

Philadelphia Streets Department – Commercial Recycling Toolkit

The Philadelphia Streets Department debuted its Commercial Recycling Toolkit earlier this week. The toolkit will walk business owners through the process, helping them save money by setting up a program or revamping a current one. The toolkit even provides case studies with best practices, outcomes and challenges so businesses can effectively find the best recycling path for them.

Find out what’s required to recycle (IE anything from cardboard to plastics to electronics), how to educate employees and track your progress in the Commercial Recycling Toolkit on the Streets Department Website.
