Municipal or Private Recycling Businesses and institutions can deliver the banned recyclable materials to private recycling facilities. Most municipal recycling facilities will also accept banned materials. Source separated materials delivered to these facilities often offer businesses and institutions a cost savings. Businesses that purchase new tires can have their used tires sent for recycling through the retailer. Many businesses are now donating the proceeds of the returns to local charities.
Less waste means fewer and safer disposal sites, a cleaner environment and a stronger economy.
