By Greentech Lead America: Glaro, an American recycling container
manufacturer, has introduced new architecturally pleasing recycling bins and
stations. The company offers a recycling receptacle collections ranging from
single purpose recycling cans to modular recycling stations.
“Over the years, we have developed a versatile product
line so that a Glaro dealer can virtually design his or her own recycling
stations. We have selection and depth in every line to help solve recycling
challenges in any building,” said Robert Betensky, executive vice president.
With these new products line, Glaro aims to support its
dealers who work with building managers to improve their facility’s recycling programs.
Even with the acceptance of Go Green recycling programs
around the USA, recycling collectors and janitorial maintenance staff are
finding that a lot of recyclables are still being placed into waste
receptacles.
“In some cases the issue is capacity. Many building
owners and management companies have the right intentions however they may not
have ample recycling containers, they may not be placed strategically and they
may not be large enough for the recycling volume demanded at that location. We
try to solve those problems with our unique products,” said Betensky.
Glaro recommends that buildings should size recycling
containers to account for fluxes in volume and their maintenance frequency.
Glaro has found that properties are not providing
separate recycling receptacles as required by local standards. There may be
bottles and cans being tossed into one single receptacle adding to work
downstream whereas the cans should be in separate recycling receptacles at the
point of collection.
