Help Create A Source of Recycled Materials

Recycling taps into a domestic source of materials, therefore increasing economic security.

Positive Economic Impact

On average, recycling creates nine times more jobs than traditional trash removal. Profits made from selling recyclable materials rather than leaving them to waste in a landfill can be used to help support local businesses and the economy. Choosing a locally owned and operated business like Abe’s Trash for your recycling services is another great way to support your community in the process!

How Recycling with Abe’s Trash Works

Residential Recycling Services

Instead of throwing recyclable materials in with your trash simply put them in a bin—you do not have to worry about sorting them! Our customers can use an 18-gallon bin or a 95-gallon cart for residential recycling services. Then, place your recycling bin curbside on recycling collection day. That’s it!

Commercial Recycling Services

We will provide your business with a commercial recycling dumpster. Our container size options include 2 cubic yards and 8 cubic yards to meet your individual needs. All recyclable items from the recycling list above can be placed in the dumpster—no sorting required!

Construction Recycling Services

We have outlined below our methods of recycling the different products found on a construction site. We are flexible in our methods and willing to work with you if you have any changes or requests.

Scrap Wood and Pallets Recycling

20-yard | 30-yard | 40-yard dumpster

All scrap wood will be ground into mulch. We are able to keep the wood from this particular job separate. If you would like, we can return it as mulch when you are ready to plant shrubs and trees at the end of the project. When we grind them into mulch, we are able to separate the nails from the mulch. Acceptable wood pallets are 48” x 40”, 2-way or 4-way, no pallets over 6’.

Scrap Steel

20-yard | 40-yard dumpster

All scrap steel will be taken to the recycling plant of your choice, we usually use Alters or Lakeside. The check for the steel will be sent directly to you. We will bill you for the haul and keep track of the weight of each load.

Mixed Recyclables

20-yard | 40-yard dumpster

We are able to take cardboard, aluminum, tin, newspaper, magazines, #1 and #2 plastics, and office paper together in one container. Glass must be kept separate from these materials to ensure that it does not contaminate the other materials.

Glass

12-yard dumpster

Glass must be kept separate from all other recyclable products. We will haul all glass to First Star Fiber to be transferred to a processing plant.

Concrete

12-yard dumpster

All concrete will be recycled or used for erosion control in rural areas.

Drywall

20-yard dumpster

Drywall will be mixed with yard waste and manure at our compost site. We use the compost as fertilizer in corn fields.
