Sign up for Eco-Cycle’s new Zero Waste Services program, which replaces garbage collection as you once knew it. Now we’ll collect 100% of your discards — recyclables, compostables, hard-to-recycle materials (like computers, stretch wrap, pallets, books & more) and “whatever’s left” — all for a price that’s comparable to what your trash/recycling costs are today!

Window Clings

Let everyone know when they walk in your front door that your business is working toward Zero Waste with Eco-Cycle with our Zero Waste Community Partner window clings.

If your business is partnered with Eco-Cycle in our Zero Waste Services program and is making significant progress towards Zero Waste, then you’re eligible to promote your program by displaying the Zero Waste Community Partner window clings on your front door or window! Earn your stripes as you make progress toward Zero.

If your business has gone beyond “just recycling” and is “going upstream” to reduce toxicity, close the loop and rethink your waste stream for compostability and recyclability, then you might be eligible to earn the crowning jewel of all stripes - “We Use Zero Waste Purchasing Practices.”

To ensure that all businesses displaying this stripe are really going above and beyond, please contact Eco-Cycle’s Business Services department to request new window clings or additional stripes at 303-444-6634 x2.
