1. What does a professional recycling consultant do?

 

A recycling consultant helps businesses and organizations with the following:

• Assess current waste and recycling practices

• Develop customized recycling programs

• Improve waste diversion rates

• Ensure compliance with local, state, or industry regulations

• Identify cost savings through smarter material management

 

Our recycling consultants often serve as a bridge between waste haulers, vendors, and sustainability goals.

 

2. Why would a business need a recycling consultant?

 

Most companies:

• Overpay for waste disposal

• Underperform on recycling goals

• Lack data to track environmental impact

 

A recycling consultant can evaluate your existing system and suggest enhancements that lower costs, improve ESG scores, and comply with regulatory or certification standards (such as LEED, TRUE Zero Waste, etc.).
