TOTAL WASTE INITIATIVE

A Comprehensive Program
TWI differs from conventional single-location recycling efforts by providing a comprehensive, integrated program for a large geographic area. TWI aggregates and sells all major types of recyclables as well as manages trash service.  We actively manage your trash service needs, identifying any existing excess capacity and reducing your service further once additional recyclables are diverted from your waste stream.

A Custom-Tailored Solution
Every element of TWI is customized to your specific needs.  TWI works with existing trash vendors and any type of recycling equipment you are already using.  If you are not recycling now, we can provide all the equipment and knowledge you need to implement an efficient and profitable program.
 
The Right Team
Our team includes experts in recycling, trash hauling, logistics, environmental engineering, customer service and finance.  The experience of our experts is measured in decades, and all are practitioners, ready to help solve any problem. 

We have the people, capital and relationships to build any size program.  Today, we are a trusted and award-winning partner of an organization with 700,000 employees and 38,000 locations.
