Busch Systems Recycling News

Ever wonder how recycling bins are made? Our newest video showcases how Busch Systems makes recycling containers and recycle bins in our manufacturing facility. Take the tour with us!

A big concern with coffee cups is the issue of contamination, in some municipalities coffee cups are recyclable and some they are not. This causes confusion and people tend to throw coffee cups in recycling bins where they aren’t accepted, which will taint the recycling stream. Our container avoids all that confusion by giving users a completely separate collection bin to dispose of coffee cups!

Tricks of Trade: Staying Connected with the Recycling and Waste Industry through Tradeshows

Busch Systems has been a major player in the recycling industry for over 25 years, and throughout this time we’ve seen recycling explode in popularity. Cities and municipalities all across North America have become heroes with their recycling programs, as have businesses and schools. We just love that we can be a part of their success and hope to continue to do so in the future…

What better way to promote your recycling program or recycling service than through the use of mini carts and bins? These promotional items are always a hit at tradeshows, are great for sales calls and can be customized to put your company logo and contact information on the desk of anyone you give them to. Best of all, these handy items come in different colors and different designs, so it’s easy to find the one that’s right for you.

If you are a college or university looking to promote recycling on campus, then consider a campaign whereby you give away mini recycling bins with your school logo along with a slogan like “We Recycle!”. It’s a popular way to promote a campus recycling program and helps get the word out about your school’s sustainability efforts.

If you are a business providing a recycling collection service, what better way to let people know about your service than by giving them a mini recycling cart with your contact information right on the mini bin? Every time your prospect reaches for a pen or highlighter in their mini cart, your company information will be prominently displayed.

If you are a municipality or city looking to increase recycling rates and spread awareness about your collection program, think about distributing mini recycling bin key chains to help spread the word.

Everyone loves free items. When those items are interesting and practical, they tend to love them even more. If you can get your name onto items like this, it’s a great way to promote your program or service. When it comes to mini recycling bins, what’s not to like?

While we continue to introduce new innovative recycling solutions to our collection of recycle bins, one particular series has grabbed the attention of many.

Although I have many customers who are happy with our various plastic recycling containers, we are receiving more requests for unique collection containers that don’t resemble your typical recycling bin. I’ve personally noticed that hotels and government buildings in particular are keen on adding the Bermuda Series metal recycling bin to their recycling program. They are pleased to discover options that are aesthetically pleasing and blend into their work environment.

The attractive Bermuda bin has a sleek and classy design that is hard to find anywhere else.  Its metal make-up is an exceptional choice for those seeking fire-resistant recycling and waste collection solutions. Fire safety is an important part of every good recycling program, and many businesses must adopt containers that are compliant to specific fire policies. Another feature my customers like about the Bermuda bin is the high quality that comes along with it. These units truly stand alone in regard to their elegant look and design.

I am a big believer of this bin and I’m thrilled that my customers are jumping on board with implementing this series.  We represent much more than your standard blue bin and it’s exciting to provide recycling solutions that are one of a kind.  Every recycling program is unique, and that’s why we are constantly adding new, diverse product to choose from.  Available as a single, double, or triple station, you really can’t go wrong with the Bermuda!
