Whether you’re running a state park, operating a convenience store, or making your living one industrial laundry cart at a time, bulk containers are no doubt part of your world. You probably don’t do a lot of thinking about the details that go into your bulk container – you have better things to worry about. Or do you? We believe, for example, that just accepting the recycling sticker from your town and slapping it on an old garbage can is a woefully missed opportunity to build your business. Here are a few reasons you should consider investing in custom recycling bins:
1. Custom recycling bins are a great branding opportunity. America is changing. People care about recycling more than ever before. In fact, 90% of Americans report reusing plastic bags! By getting your own recycling carts, you’re signaling to the green-conscious population that you care about the environment too. Furthermore, if you spring for the custom recycling bins, that creates more brand awareness for you and is a constant advertisement to anyone who passes them.
2. Plastic recycling will keep your business organized and professional. The thing about recyclables is that they add up. They accumulate in the corners of parking lots, behind benches, and under laundry machines. By investing in custom recycling bins, you’re giving people a guilt-free place to dump their recyclable trash. This will help keep your business clean and organized. Also, if nothing else, the 3.2 million people working in the cleaning industry will thank you for your conscientiousness.
3. Recycling supports the economy. We’re serious! By investing in inexpensive custom recycling bins, you’re helping an industry that creates thousands of well-paid, U.S.-based jobs. Not only is this just the right thing to do, it’s also something a lot of your customers probably care about, and therefore another thing that differentiates your brand from the other guy.
Additional Tips…
If we’ve convinced you that recycling bins are the way to go (and we see no reason why we shouldn’t have), here are a few additional tips about how to get the most out of your purchase:
– Make sure your custom recycle bins are well labeled and visible to the customer
– Have an info-graphic posted nearby that explains what plastics can be recycled
– Know your town’s recycling schedule and pay attention to when they need to be on the curb
-Pay attention to the rewards associated with recycling. Namely, the container deposits, tax breaks, or rebates that may be associated with your go-green efforts.
