Did you know that, while greasy pizza boxes cannot be recycled, the box tops can? I learned this…read morefun fact, alongside many others, during my first consultation with John "Ski" Shaski, one of the founders of this company. "The thing is, if pizza companies simply printed 'Please recycle this box top' on the packaging, we'd save so much waste. I don't know why they won't do it, but it frustrates me. We can do so much better, all of us, without putting in much effort." Okay, so that was the gist of his statement, I'm not quoting verbatim. After just a few minutes with Ski, I could sense his determination, passion and commitment to making the world just a little better everyday. Knowaste is an incredible local resource, they handle any job, from small gatherings to huge festivals and events, at fair rates, and they have the data to back up their work, just check the website: TEDxABQ composted and recycled 93% of their event "waste" working alongside this company; UNM diverted 79% of the trash at an event hosting 1K+ attendees. The last two years, Knowaste has also helped tackle tens of thousands of attendees at Albuquerque's SOMOS festival -- that's what we worked on, together. As an event organizer, I found his assistance completely unobtrusive and easy to navigate; he requested load-in and load-out instructions, and his crew took care of everything, no oversight required. Hire this company, they're doing great work for this city, and the planet.

Super friendly phone staff and helpful recycle scrap guy who dumps the cans with you. You receive a slip and head around the corner to the office stairs with the red rail and cha ching, cash money! So the only thing I'll say is adjust your expectations as a first time recycler. Roughly 32 cans equal 1lb. We rolled in with 3 not fully stuffed but full 13 gallon trash bags and made a solid $2.45.
