The Recycling Problem
Recycling is hard enough – making it cost-efficient is even harder. Most recycling involves filling bins and paying local haulers each time they’re picked up. With inefficient collection and waste processes, those costs can add up fast.
Start Monetizing your waste
Meet Recycling+
Rework your waste process to get the most out of your recycling. Most businesses rely on inefficient recycling bins and overpay for collection services. By partnering with Happen Ventures to optimize how you handle recycling, you could save up to 50% on your waste costs.
On-Site Bailers
Condense your recycling and waste to optimize every pick-up. Not only do bailers and condensers reduce your regular waste costs, but they also prepare your materials for the market.
Waste Commoditization
Traditional waste and recycling services pass through too many brokers. By connecting your waste directly to the market or manufacturers, you won’t be paying to remove your recyclables, you’ll be selling them.
Collection Hot Spots
Turn your customers’ recyclables into a revenue channel! With your new waste network and processes, provide easy recycling drop-off points for your customers.

Every business is different. Work with our team to find the best way to optimize your waste processes and save you money.
