Recycling and Local Businesses

One of the upsides of offering both residential and business recycling services is that we get to interact with a lot of local businesses. Most big businesses already have the infrastructure to recycle built into their facilities and business plans. The smaller, more local businesses actually have to get creative with how they steward their waste. Right now, we have about 15 businesses who use our services. Not all of them are locally owned, but most of them are. In fact, some of these locally owned businesses are new start ups! 

As a locally owned and operated start up business, we too know what it is like to navigate the start up costs like marketing, equipment, products and legal fees. One of the values of our company is social innovation, which means we want to empower people who are participating in making the community a better place to live. One of the ways we help to empower those businesses that use our services is to list them on our website under the Green Businesses tab. Hopefully, these local start ups, as well as the other businesses that use Recycle Clarksville will not only gain respect from the community for their commitment to the environment, but also gain new business.

If you value taking care of the environment, make a special effort to purchase products and services from other local businesses that share your values. The next post will be about a new website we have created to make the city more aware about the options for Green living in Clarksville.
