Discount Dumpster recently took part in the cleanup of the Arvada, CO, trail network. Many of our staff have also taken part and led their own community cleanup efforts, encouraged by the company. Discount Dumpster is always interested in participating in new cleanup efforts. If there is a cleanup event you would like us to partake in, please call us at 855-573-DUMP.
You can visit the NFF website at nationalforests.org/tree-planting-programs. The NFF has a variety of outlets for business partnerships, as well as individual volunteers. We highly recommend reaching out to the NFF to see how your business or individual efforts can aid their tree planting campaign.
We absolutely do! Not only do we provide assistance for customers who need to recycle certain materials not accepted in landfills, we also recycle products in our offices! Every station has recycle bins, and the company incentivizes its staff to recycle at any chance they get.
This program matters to us due to the fact our company emits a lot of greenhouse gases. Waste hauling trucks are gas guzzlers and release a ton of emissions. However, believe it or not, planting a single tree for each hauling trip helps neutralize the effects of our emissions. This is crucial for our mission of becoming a net-zero carbon company.
