DM Recycling provides customers with a 96-gallon mixed recycling cart for your business’s recycling needs. Acceptable materials include office paper, newspaper, phone books, cardboard, plastic bottles, metal cans and more. These wheeled carts eliminate the need for sorting your recyclables, making it that much easier for your organization to participate in the recycling program. We believe recycling is a cooperative endeavor, and we at DM Recycling are committed to service that is responsive, fair, efficient, and effective. We continue to look for new ways to improve quality and cost effectiveness.
Mixed Recycling Container
For businesses with higher volumes of mixed recycling, DM Recycling provides our recycling customers containers for your recycling needs. These containers accept the same material as our recycle carts, but hold a larger quantity of recyclables that allow you to reduce your garbage service by greater amounts. Available in both a 2-cubic and 6-cubic yard style, our recycling containers are clean and attractive and provide an efficient and easy method for customers to participate in a recycling program tailored to best fit their needs.
Because not all items can go into the mixed recycling containers, if you are in doubt, throw it out. Contamination can put employees in danger and ruin the value of the other items and damage the machinery. This is especially true of plastic bags, glass, and Styrofoam.
A few tips to keep recycled materials free from contamination include:
- Recyclables should be clean, dry and empty
- Rinse containers with water and leave no food residue
- Remove plastic lids and caps and throw those items in the trash; labels may remain.
- Do not bag items.
Cardboard Recycling
Does your business generate large amounts of cardboard? The most cost-efficient solution to you may be a Cardboard Only container from DM Recycling.
Available in the container sizes below, the cardboard container accepts any non-food contaminated cardboard. There is no need to remove tape or staples.

Other Recyclable Materials
Large businesses or institutions may benefit from using a compactor or larger container size for large amounts of cardboard, mixed recycle and other recyclable material with value. Contact a DM Recycling account representative to help you determine what container and service best fits your commercial or multi-family business best.
Drop Box and Compactor Recycle Hauling
Large businesses and institutions may benefit by utilizing a recycling compactor to efficiently remove large amounts of cardboard, yard debris, concrete, or other recyclable material with value. Customers that compact their material will need less hauls per month, resulting in an overall savings on your hauling bill.

Why are my glass items not accepted in my mixed recycling container and am I able to still recycle them in some way?
When containers are lifted from the ground for service, the items inside typically move around quite a bit while falling from the container into the truck. If glass is present in the container, this movement causes the glass to break and spread throughout the other recyclable materials, leading to the contamination of the clean items. To prevent contamination, glass is an unacceptable item in our mixed recycling containers. Glass can still be recycled, and DM Recycling encourages all businesses and multi-family establishments to take their glass products to one of the several glass drop-off sites throughout Pierce County for proper disposal.
