Your organization or community can make money from recycling program; Okaloosa County did.

Set up recycling bins custom printed with your organizations name and purpose. Encourage recycling and make money for your organization. Your school and town will be recycling while your organization makes money and helps the environment.

For years, Okaloosa County shipped tons of recyclable trash collected from the beaches to a landfill and they paid the landfill to take it.

Recently, a group of local residents, county and city staff members created a pilot beach recycling program. They sent a load of beach refuse to a recycling facility in Pensacola, which was more than happy to take it.

Now instead of paying a $50 per ton to the landfill, the county makes around $35 per ton from the recycling facility. In the month of July alone, almost 38 tons of refuse was recycled instead of being sent to the landfill. The county received around $1200 for the money of July alone.

If your county, senior center, municipal fields, town and school teams or PTO needs a way to raise money, consider recycling for dollars. Fibrex Group can custom print your organization’s logo and mission on your recycling container.

Made for easy use, these indoor and outdoor recycling bins can help your organization make money while keeping recyclables out of the landfill. Your teachers and organizations have the opportunity to use this recycling program in school lesson plans and as challenges to your community.
