Recycling Revolution is a local recycling service provider. They operate out of Dallas, but they serve the entire DFW area. They charge a fee to make sure their client’s waste is treated sustainably. Using their two trucks, Recycling Revolution will travel to their client’s location and transport every part of reusable/recyclable waste back to their warehouse. After retrieving the materials, they find a responsible vendor to treat/recycle them. Even though they are in the recycling business, they do not commoditize the materials. This profit model creates a unique opportunity for them to focus on the service side of recycling so they can be a major contributor in recycling materials that would not be financially sound when focusing solely on quantity. Glass is a prime example of this opportunity. When exclusively focused on financial gain from quantity, glass does not make sense to recycle. But because of Recycling Revolution’s service focus, they recycle the most glass in the DFW area. A majority of their clientele is small local businesses, mainly restaurants, wanting to do the right thing.
Another advantage that they have over their competition is they offer composting. Their biggest seller to the restaurant business is their ability to offer composting as an alternative for food waste. They have been in business for around 4 years and have around 10 employees with various professional back grounds. Moving to a larger warehouse facility recently opened them up for growth. With a recent community focused facility opening up in the DFW area, they now are considering catering to communities more and having a smaller drop-off type complex.Recycle Recycle Recycle
Recycling Revolution is committed to fostering the recycling attitude in their community. Every employee there is very educated about the recycling process and want to spread their passion. Recycling would be much easier if there were more facilities like Recycling Revolution. Experts in recycling are needed because of the vast amount of ignorance on the subject, present blogger not excluded. Caring for waste responsibly is necessary to become a sustainable community and the first step is making the knowledge wider spread.
