Among the many materials that can be collected free of charge would be cardboards that are not soiled or contaminated. Business owners can save a substantial amount if they are able to collect a number of these boards. Glass and cans can be collected and recycled to make more bottles and cans, so this saves the trouble of burying them somewhere especially that these are not biodegradable. Commercial recycling is also about collecting newspapers, yellow pages that are old, white envelops, clean cards, and junk mail, so these will be recycled again to newspapers that people read every day.
Incidentally, these papers are collected, checked for contaminants and taken to a fiber preparation plant for them to be reduced to a pulp, cleaned and converted to a newly recycled newspaper. Commercial recycling also involves the collection of discarded meat products left in restaurants and these includes meat, vegetables, tea bags, pork and chicken carcasses cardboard and paper soiled by meat products, small and large bones and expired breads. When these are collected, they are brought in a plant to be shredded or dissolved and finally composted inside a large machine that will further break down these products, so they can be used as fertilizer.
