Shangri-La Estates – A case study

We rent three of our 240L wheeled totes to Shangri-La Estates at a cost of $9 per month each (monthly tote rental: $27 + tax).  Every second Tuesday, we arrive to exchange the three full totes with freshly-cleaned totes.  For each pickup, we charge $40 per pick-up of all three totes.  In months with two pickups, costs for pickup and tote rental: $80.00 + $27.00 = $107.00 + applicable taxes.

This progressive program allows Shangri-La Estates to divert approximately 540 kgs. each month.  Each year, that's the equivalent of two full-size dump trucks worth of resources that will be beneficially recycled locally, not buried at the CRD Hartland landfill.  What’s more, The CRD will be banning food waste from the landfill in 2012.

With more than 240 commercial and residential customers participating, you can see we're making a huge difference.  Please contact us to find out how we can support your efforts.
