We make "doing your part" as simple, engaging, and rewarding as possible.

What We Do

 

For Hosts

We create waste management units that sort waste at the point of disposal, monitor fullness, and track waste data like never before. Our Mk I units are ideal for universities, municipalities, and large and small businesses alike. Our units come equipped with an online web platform so you can track all of your streams and pickups in real-time. Increase your diversion rate and do good for the planet.
