Ecogen's secret? They treat waste like a precious resource. They collect, sort, and process materials at their state-of-the-art facility.

Recycling Hacks: Ecogen's Top Tips

Ecogen isn't just about the big picture; they're also about the little things. Here are some of their top recycling tips:

• Rinse, don't dry: You don't need to dry your recyclables. A quick rinse is enough to remove food residue.

• Cardboard is king: Flatten your cardboard boxes and tie them together for easy recycling.
