the difference in cost between garbage only collection (left) and garbage
plus recycling (right). In this example, the potential annual savings when recycling is
$300.

Increased Recycling Reduces Your Monthly Garbage Charge
Recycling can help your business save money. Haulers generally charge
less for recycling than for normal garbage collection. By diverting recoverable materials
from garbage bins into recycling bins, businesses may be able to reduce their garbage
bin size and the frequency of collection. This could reduce garbage collection
costs and associated fees on garbage.
