Business Recycling Resources

  • Loudoun County offers technical assistance to help businesses implement a successful recycling program.
  • If your business currently receives garbage collection service, your service provider should be able, and in most cases is required, to provide recycling service. 
  • Adding recycling service will reduce the capacity needed for regular trash and may provide an opportunity for a price reduction in your trash bill to offset the cost for establishing the recycling collection service.
