With the need for sustainability in demand, the world has been craving great recycling ideas.  Green is now the color of choice, and with the beautiful lands that Iowa holds, Yantis & Associates knew we needed to become “green” ourselves. Not to mention Black Hawk County has one of the best managed recycling programs in Iowa, making the decision even easier for the office.

With the decision made, we’ve now put together a great recycling program, helping to keep the Cedar Falls and Waterloo areas looking beautiful. With a surge of energy and enthusiasm, Yantis & Associates is looking forward to doing our part, and we hope you join us in this great movement!

If you do wish to implement a recycling program, questions may arise. This includes the first, yet toughest question: 

How do I start a recycling program at my home or business?

It’s easy! All you do is follow four simple steps, and you’re on your way to become “green” yourself.

Step 1- Research what materials are recyclable in your area. (Cedar Falls recycles many items, including cardboard, paper, metal, glass, plastic, etc.)

Step 2- Encourage family or coworker participation. (Whether you are at home or on the job, it’s important to motivate others to take part in the recycling efforts.)

Step 3- Properly collect and dispose of items. (Whether you hire an outside source or do it yourself, it is important to follow through with the correct disposal techniques.)

Step 4- Take more steps toward recycling. (Look to reuse items for other uses, such as plastic sacks for garbage sacks or toilet paper rolls for fun kids projects.)
