COMMINGLED RECYCLING

What is Commingled Recycling?

URM’s commingled recycling bins at your home, office or work site make it easier than ever to recycle plastic, aluminum, steel and glass containers.

Commingled recycling means the majority of your food and beverage containers can be thrown into one bin and we’ll do the sorting for you.

Once we collect your recyclables, they’re taken to our state-of-the-art facilities where they are separated, decontaminated, processed, recycled and repurposed.

By diverting waste from landfill, you’re helping create new products and reducing impact on the environment.

Commingled bins also save you space, landfill costs and time spent sorting – letting you get on with your day.
