Enrolling communities for fall 2026

A cleaner community starts at the door.

Useful materials are thrown away every day. My Recycle Route makes it easier to collect them where people live, measure what we recover, and show communities what happened next.

The problem

Your recovery number is a guess right now

One truck serves twenty properties and compacts everything together. Whatever number lands on your report was estimated backwards from a route total.

Mixed loads

One truck, twenty properties, one compactor. When it’s all packed together, nobody can say whose contamination it was — including you.

Estimates, not measurements

Your property’s figure is a share of a route total, not a measurement of what left your building.

No feedback loop

If residents are doing it wrong, nothing in the process tells them, so it never gets better.

We collect it bag by bag, from the door, so the number is actually yours.

How it works

From your door to what comes next

Put it out. We'll take it from here. Every pound traces back to the building it came from.

01
Know what belongs

Residents get coded bags, a magnet, and a one-page guide. Bottles, cans, boxes, paper, small electronics. Included — nobody buys bags.

02
Set it out

Leave it at the door on your community’s schedule. No toters, no curbside, no second dumpster.

03
We collect

An operator scans each bag at the door, so the material is tied to the building it came from before the truck moves.

04
We recover

Sorted and weighed at the Resource Hub, graded for contamination, and prepared for its next destination.

05
Your community sees the results

A simple monthly report shows what was recovered and where it ended up — for your property alone.

What we recover

What we throw away still has a place to go

Bottles. Cans. Cardboard. Electronics. You probably have some of this at home right now — and old electronics don't have to stay forgotten in a drawer.

Bottles

Water bottles, soda bottles

Household plastic

Milk jugs, detergent bottles, cleaning containers

Cans

Aluminum beverage cans, steel food cans

Paper

Mail, office paper, paper packaging

Cardboard

Shipping boxes, food boxes

Electronics

Phones, tablets, laptops, chargers and cables, small electronics

Accepted materials may vary by community and available recovery partners.

The Resource Hub

Where collected material comes together

This is where it lands after the route. We sort it. We weigh it. We prepare it for what comes next.

01

Arrive

Every bag is scanned in against the door it came from.

02

Sort

Separated by commodity and checked for contamination.

03

Weigh

Weighed by commodity on a real scale, not estimated.

04

Move forward

Sent on to the partner that takes that material.

Measuring what comes through the hub is what lets us tell a community what was actually recovered, rather than what was probably collected.

Reporting

See what your community accomplished

A monthly report, per property. Pounds collected, pounds recovered, contamination rate, and an environmental equivalency — the numbers a board asks for before it approves anything.

  • A monthly report per property, emailed to your site contact
  • Quarterly contamination notes and recommendations
  • Per-property figures, never a share of a route total
  • Every load tied to the facility that received it, against a scale ticket
  • Skip reasons documented, so a weather day isn’t a missed pickup

Services

Two services, one set of numbers

Valet trash & recycling

Doorstep collection of trash and recycling on your community’s schedule, sorted and weighed at the Resource Hub. Built for properties with no room for a second dumpster.

Food waste

Weekly food-waste collection. Residents keep a 5-gallon bucket and we take the bag. Businesses get a serviced container on site.

Pricing

Priced per site, everything included

Every community is different. We look at your property, your collection needs, and the size of the program, then quote the site.

Quoted on your unit count, collection schedule, and the material you want recovered.
  • Doorstep collection on your community’s schedule
  • Coded bags and printed resident education included
  • Hub sorting, weighing, and contamination grading
  • Monthly property report with destinations
Food waste

  • Buckets for residents, serviced containers for businesses
  • Weighed and reported alongside everything else
  • Same monthly report, same destinations record

Sites are invoiced on contract. There is nothing to buy on this site.

For residents

You scanned a code. Here's what to do with it.

You don't sign up for anything and you don't pay us. Your community already has the service — this is just how it works.

Yes, please
Plain names on purpose — you shouldn't need to know a resin code to recycle.
  • Plastic bottlesEmpty and rinsed. Caps on.
  • Milk jugsRinse them out.
  • Detergent bottlesEmpty. Labels can stay on.
  • CardboardFlatten it so it fits.
  • Aluminum cansRinse. No need to crush.
  • Steel cansRinse. Lids inside the can.
  • Glass bottles & jarsRinse. Leave labels on.
Not in this bag
Still recyclable — just somewhere else.

Styrofoam

Local drop-off for now — we’re still working on an end user.

Plastic bags & film

Grocery-store drop-off bins take these.

Food scraps

That’s our food waste service — ask your manager to add it.

Chain of custody

Pickup isn't the end of the story

After material is sorted and brought together, we work with recycling and recovery partners to move it toward the appropriate next destination — and the report says which one took it.

About

Built by people who already do the work

My Recycle Route is the material recovery program: the coded bags, the doorstep collection, the Resource Hub where material is sorted and weighed, and the report that says what happened next.

Every route also creates local work — training and jobs for the people who collect, sort, and weigh material in the communities they live in. The skills transfer to any employer, so what someone takes with them belongs to them.

Every community is different. We'll look at your property, your collection needs, and the size of the program, then build a recovery program that fits.

Let's talk

Service area

Are we already running a route near you?

Check your ZIP. If we're not there yet, send your details anyway — we log every ZIP that gets checked, and that's how we decide where to expand.

Questions we get asked

Get started

What could your community recover?

Tell us a little about your property and we'll build a recovery program that fits. Unit count is what we need to price it.

This is what prices the job, so it's the one field we need.
