What are the Benefits of Curbside Recycling Services With Abe’s Trash?

At Abe’s Trash we’re dedicated to making your life easier and helping our environment with our curbside recycling pickup services. We’ve been providing affordable and reliable recycling services to the Omaha area for over 60 years. Curious what the benefits of recycling with us are? Here are some of the top benefits to consider:

• Spend less time sorting your materials. We provide single-stream recycling, allowing our customers to put all their recyclables into one bin without sorting. This saves you time from sorting out your plastics, metals, and papers into separate bins, and saves you the stress of accidentally mixing materials.
• Save gas from driving to the nearest recycling facility. Choosing to bring your own recyclables to the nearest recycling facility can cost extra time and gas. Take your positive environmental impact a step further and let us pick up your recycling for you while we’re already making our rounds!
• Divert excess waste from going to the landfill. Once landfills are full, we start bringing the waste to the next. There are multiple ways you can decrease the amount of excess waste in landfills, from composting to recycling. Abe’s Trash can help extend the life of our local landfills with responsible recycling.
• Conserve energy and natural resources. Recycling diverts waste from being landfilled or incinerated. This conserves energy since it takes less energy to produce new products from recycled materials and saves natural resources that sometimes cannot be replaced.
• Reduce pollution. Pollution is a major problem in our world today, and it’s important to do our part in reducing it whenever possible. Recycling helps reduce water and air pollution by conserving energy and resources.
• Creating a source of recycled materials in the United States. Recycling taps into a domestic source of materials, therefore increasing economic security.
• Creating jobs in the recycling and manufacturing industries. On average, recycling creates nine times more jobs than traditional trash removal.
• Supporting the local economy. 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!
