Listed below are a few companies the SmartBusiness Recycling Program has helped to reduce their waste over the past several years. Read about these businesses and learn how you can benefit from the efforts of the SmartBusiness Recycling Program.

Harbor House
Located in Marina del Rey, this restaurant implemented a glass and cardboard recycling program after receiving a site visit from the Business Recycling Consultants. While interested in the concept of recycling, the restaurant did not know where to find the most appropriate recycling company for its needs. Today, Harbor House is diverting 18 tons of glass and 4 tons of cardboard boxes annually.

La Reina
This tortilla manufacturer located in East Los Angeles received a site visit from the Business Recycling Consultants which resulted in the eventual establishment of a full scale cardboard, metal, and mixed paper recycling program that is now recovering a total of 440 tons of paper, cardboard, and metal from its facility annually.

Los Angeles College of Chiropractic
Based on recommendations by the Business Recycling Consultants, the college converted its standard lawnmowers to mulching mowers, and began grasscycling three acres of lawn. As a result, the college now saves $3,600 in annual operating costs and 128 staff hours a month.

Remo
Remo Inc., the world's largest manufacturer of musical drum heads, is located in unincorporated Los Angeles County adjacent to the City of Santa Clarita. The Company has an extensive recycling and reuse program for miscellaneous plastics, high grade metals, wooden shipping crates, paper, cans, bottles, and cardboard boxes. In 1999, the company earned $28,000 for scrap metal recycling and saved $14,000 in avoided landfill disposal costs.
