FAQs

Yes, if that organization meets our Bottle Minimum Pickup Requirements. Minimum requirements for businesses within our primary service area are generally significantly lower than those businesses outside of that area.

No. Although we highly encourage our business clients to purchase our boxes because it streamlines the process, ensuring a better separation of redeemables from other recyclable materials and waste. Recap does not have the capacity to dispose of garbage, so we do not take bags with trash and other recyclable material in them.

But if a business has a good recycling program in place and can efficiently separate and collect their bottles without trash, then purchasing our Recap Bins is not necessary.

NOTE: We highly recommend that bottles are collected in clear bags. Bottles in non-clear bags can be rejected by our pickup driver.
