Zero Waste, Real Savings & Full Employment – Recycling is a winning formula for San Francisco
The City of San Francisco has the most ambitious recycling goal in the country – striving to become the first Zero-Waste city by the year 2020. To help meet this goal – Toolworks has partnered with Recology™ to create recyclability© – an on-site waste sorting service that maximizes your building’s recycling and composting rates.
Why should you care? Because reducing the trash that your building sends to landfills will save you thousands of dollars on your Recology bill and bring your building into full compliance with San Francisco’s mandatory recycling ordinances.
Did you know that San Francisco businesses can receive a 75{83a1fbf64445f08c3fc2cc825303cde788ff53bf0f064322742f5c480a37b595} discount on their Recology™ bill?

You can pay for the recyclability© program with these discounts and still save thousands of dollar a year on your waste removal costs!

Our Workforce
Toolworks’ employs over 100 workers with disabilities and other barriers to employment. Members of the recyclability© workforce have received training in customer service, workplace etiquette, and waste stream diversion.
