Community Self-Service Loan Program

The Community Self-Service Loan Program (or Do-It-Yourself Event Recycling) is a program that provides non-profit organizations and individuals holding private celebrations with the opportunity to recycle by using our bins. This program empowers people to implement positive environmental action without having to invest in the costly recycling bins.

Our loan program is made possible through a generous grant from the Coca-Cola/National Recycling Coalition Recycling Bin Grant Program, St. Louis-Jefferson Solid Waste Management District, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the Employees Community Fund of The Boeing Company

In order to ensure our ability to provide this service into the future and to monitor the program to prevent loss, participation in the Community Self-Service Loan Program requires enrollment in our Membership Program. For more complete details and membership form, click HERE.
