Help Keep Recycling Messages Consistent

Recycling works best when everyone uses clear, simple language — just like reuse programs. A recent article from Closed Loop Partners

 highlighted how consistent words, colors, and signage help people make the right choice faster and reduce confusion.


We review hauler websites twice a year and share suggestions to keep visuals and messaging consistent across the region. We also provide ready-to-brand recycling guides for your community and work directly with cities and counties to align outreach.


👉 Take a minute to check your website, route materials, and bin labels. Are they clear and consistent with the community message?



If you’d like help reviewing or updating them, reach out — we’re here to support you.

Fire Prevention Starts at the Bin

Damaged or crushed batteries can ignite in trucks or at recycling facilities — and these fires are becoming more common nationwide. Even small ones from tools or toys can cause serious damage.


As routes get busier this season, take a moment to remind your customers: no batteries, electronics, or flammable items in any bin.


Direct them to their Household Hazardous Waste site or local drop-off for safe disposal.


👉 Need a resource to share?

The BINfluencer App lists local battery and HHW drop-off sites that can be branded for your community.


Keeping these items out of collection bins protects drivers, equipment, and the community.
