At CleanRiver, we believe that effective waste diversion goes beyond the traditional 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, & Recycle.

That’s why we’ve developed the 3C Process: Culture, Communication, & Containers.
This unique approach ensures higher engagement and compliance with recycling program goals, leading to successful sustainability initiatives.

With the 3C Process, CleanRiver becomes an extension of your team, offering unique services and resources to support your waste diversion program.
Our passionate team of dedicated professionals operates with a customer-centric approach, making your goals and measures of success our top priority at every step of the process.

Partner with CleanRiver and unlock the full potential of waste diversion through our proven 3C Process.

Together, we can make a lasting impact on the environment and create a sustainable future.

  • Culture

    It starts at the top.  Establishing a strong recycling culture is essential for the success of any waste diversion program.

    When all stakeholders within an organization or community are aligned and committed to sustainability, it fosters greater awareness and engagement.

Our Process

When it comes to commercial recycling, one bin does not fit all.

That’s why we take a more holistic approach, looking at the bigger picture and keeping in mind the 3C’s of recycling (culture, communication and collection) to determine the solution that’s right for you.

As commercial recycling technology, government mandates and your business change, we know it’s important to think not only of your immediate needs, but also of your future needs. Recycling products like our Transition® Configurable Recycling Containers let you change your recycling program without having to change your recycling containers. And custom graphics, recycling posters, signage and other educational material ensure your program’s success.

We help to determine the product that’s right for your needs and assist in the development of a consistent recycling program throughout your entire facility. We also encourage and help our clients to perform a waste audit to determine cost savings and keep your recycling program optimized. This way, your recycling program can have a positive impact for both the environment, and for your bottom line.

What Our Clients are Saying

“At Priddis Greens Golf & Country Club, we were seeking a sustainable solution to expand our recycling and waste collection program. Most golf specific suppliers for these products are out of the United States and overpriced. CleanRiver worked with us to create custom solutions for managing the collection of various items including scorecards, pencils, towels, recycling, and waste. We are very happy with the end results and look forward to expanding our products to enhance collection at our practice facilities as well as on the golf course.”
