We know how important it is to keep contamination low and we work hard to educate our residents on what is, and, more importantly, what is not recyclable curbside. Recycle Coach is a key piece of this education strategy.
City of Bowling Green, OH
Recycle Coach has helped the City of Mission move from broad outreach to targeted, data-driven education. With tools like What Goes Where searches and direct notifications, we've been able to reach residents more effectively and support real behavior change.
City of Mission, BC
We've been using Recycle Coach since 2017, beginning almost at the same time as the launch of our new 20-year waste management plan. In just seven years since the adoption of Recycle Coach, our county-wide recycling rate increased 10 percentage points to reach 51% in 2024. This was the first time ever that our community has recycled more waste than it has landfilled.
