For Businesses

Responsible waste management is good for the environment and reduces costs for your business by minimizing the expense of garbage. 

Reducing waste reduces costs and sends a message to your customers that you are a responsible steward of our natural resources. Employees working at companies with environmental sustainability goals are more fulfilled, engaged, and productive. From plastics to electronics recycling, our department and business partners offer a variety of programs to businesses in Allen County that can support your waste management needs.
