About Us
Rates
Green Start works with each client to determine needs and scale of service best suited to the client’s development. As such, rates for service vary. Considerations factored into rate calculations include:
- Number of units in development
- Frequency of pick-up
- Accessibility of dedicated recycling pick-up area
Note that by recycling with Green Start, your garbage output should decrease significantly, and with it, your garbage collection bill. Thus, recycling is more of a shift in budget than it is an additional expense.
