You collect on-site
They provide local businesses with the basic infrastructure to collect their waste plastic bags and plastic film packing material on site (instead of entering the trash stream).
They pick up and distribute
Businesses hold the plastic film in a bulk container for our regular collection and onward delivery to recycling companies by our volunteer team.
Volume reported for branding
They track each business’ recycling volume weight to inform their customers and stakeholders on their programs success.
We are proud to partner with a number of local locations in San Diego and Los Angeles to offer the Resident Drop-Off Program. This program provides a simple and easy way for people to responsibly dispose of your soft plastics, creating a sustainable option that protects our earth. By using a bag made from recycled materials, we are reducing our carbon footprint and keeping more plastics out of our oceans. It’s easy, fun, and convenient for everyone to participate!
Our partner locations include the following:
ECC Recycling in Oceanside
Solana Center in Encinitas
Origins Grocer (aka The Mighty Bin) in North Park
Dream E-Waste in San Diego
