Business Recycling Champions Program

Group of people celebrating with Business Recycling Champion badge overlay

SWACO’s Business Recycling Champion program is designed to help businesses implement sustainable recycling programs and provide financial assistance that supports the overall goal of diverting Franklin County's recyclable materials from the landfill. Since businesses generate 60% of the landfill material presently going into the landfill, this program was created to help local businesses start new recycling programs and achieve their environmental sustainability goals.

Helping companies implement sustainable recycling programs can make a difference as a community and achieve diversion goals for Franklin County. 

We offer financial assistance to companies that qualify to help you successfully launch recycling programs. 

Becoming a Business Recycling Champion will mean that you completed the program SWACO created and that your company has implemented sustainable recycling practices. This accomplishment will also allow you to classify your business as a Business Recycling Champion and promote it to your customers and employees.

Use this handy checklist to stay on track during the submission process. 

Financial assistance is available in three categories:  

  • Indoor Container purchasing: 50% price reduction up to $1,000
  • Indoor and Outdoor Signage purchasing: 50% cost reduction up to $500.00
  • Service Start-Up Support funding: $100.00 to $500.00 based on the level of recycling service purchased for your business program.  (See the list of Participating Haulers below.)

Complete one (1) set of documents and apply for all three (3) categories of the program. Or complete one (1) set of documents and apply for the specific category you need help with. The maximum amount of financial assistance available across all three categories is $2,000.00. 
* The program is for businesses that do not currently have a recycling program. 

Be on your way to a successful program in just four easy steps.
