ReBusiness Partners
The ReBusiness Partners Program is designed to support a local business or organization’s efforts to reduce waste, increase recycling and composting, and adopt green purchasing practices. We worked with a few of our ReBusiness Partners and Thomas Hoebbel Photography to create a video promoting the program. It demonstrates how easy it is to participate in a waste assessment or reassessment and highlights some of the program’s success stories.
What do committed ReBusiness Partners receive?
- Public recognition from the community for their efforts to help the environment.
- FREE assistance from Recycling and Materials Management throughout the process, including a waste assessment
- FREE recycling bins and decals
- FREE Compost, Recycling, and Trash signage
- Reduced fee for food scraps recycling service
