ONE SORT RECYCLING


Evergreen Sanitation uses a 1-sort system. We are using the 1-sort system of collection because it will insure that all of our customers’ participation in recycling will increase.  Unlike our competitors, we pick up our recycling every week, rather than every other week.  So along with being an easier system for recycling, you will be assured that each week you are able to recycle with Evergreen Sanitation.
