Why Choose Single-Stream Recycling?

Single-stream recycling combines recyclable items like plastic, aluminum, cardboard, newspapers, etc. in a single bin or cart. We handle the sorting on our end to make the recycling process easy and painless for our customers.

Because all items are collected by one truck and processed at one facility, BARCO leaves a smaller environmental footprint and simplifies a sometimes confusing process for our customers.

Battery Dsiposal

Incorrect Battery Disposal Can Cause Fires!

Common household items seem harmless, however, the batteries in them pose risks when disposed into regular garbage or recycling containers because of their highly flammable nature.

Remove the batteries

Select a location that is easily accessible for you and others using the dumpster.

Store batteries in a safe place

Use the roll off container to dispose of various waste materials during the rental period. Contact us to schedule a pickup when you're ready.

Find your local drop off

Ensure safe and efficient transportation by avoiding overloading the dumpster. Overloading can lead to vehicle damage, road safety hazards, and costly fines.
