Question 1

What materials can be placed in the Recovery Container?

Accepted Answer

Each container is designated for an approved material stream based on your business’s needs and the recovery routes currently available. Accepted materials may include select plastics, cardboard, paper, textiles, or other recoverable materials approved by IronRidge Services.

Question 2

How often is the container exchanged?

Accepted Answer

Exchange frequency is established during your initial assessment based on the material type, expected volume, available space, and service route. Weekly exchanges are the standard starting point for the pilot service, but the schedule may be adjusted when appropriate.

Question 3

What happens if the wrong material is placed in the container?

Accepted Answer

Clear guidance will be provided so your team knows what belongs in the container. Materials that do not match the approved stream may need to be removed, returned, or handled separately to protect the recovery route from contamination.

Question 4

What is included in the Material Diversion Report?

Accepted Answer

The monthly report summarizes the materials collected, the amount recovered when measurable, how the materials were categorized, and the destinations used whenever that information is available.

Question 5

Is the Recovery Container Service the same as traditional recycling?

Accepted Answer

No. Traditional recycling often focuses only on placing materials into a recycling stream. IronRidge evaluates collected materials through the 3R+D Standard—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and then Dispose—and documents the outcome whenever possible.

Question 6

How much does the service cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the container, material stream, exchange frequency, location, and expected volume. We will provide clear pricing after completing a free assessment of your business’s recovery needs.

Question 7

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

The Recovery Container Service is launching in the Helena area. Expansion into additional Montana communities will depend on route development and available material-recovery destinations.
