What
Happens to
my Waste?

The Orange Drop program safely manages nine materials to end-of-life, diverting harmful substances from landfill and waterways. Many of the materials collected through the Orange Drop Program, such as paints, pressurized containers and batteries are reprocessed, refurbished or reused to make new products—easing the demand for energy and virgin resources.

Why Recycle

Why
Make the Drop?

When you take your Orange Drop materials to a drop-off location you’re helping give new life to old products. You’re also disposing of potentially harmful items correctly to avoid soil contamination, water pollution and health risks.
