Alpine to Issue Monthly Reports to Customers

Alpine Waste & Recycling, Commerce City, Colo., has launched a program that is designed to measure its customers’ recycling and composting efforts.

Alpine reports that it has outfitted each of its collection vehicles with smart devices that weigh and record the contents of each customer pickup. These data are used to provide monthly automated reports to Alpine’s customers detailing the waste diversion percentage and sustainability impact of their recycling efforts. The reports will appear monthly on the back of each customer’s invoice, according to Alpine.  

“Many customers who recycle do so because they recognize the value of recycling for the environment, the community and future generations,” says Alpine President John Griffith. “However, until now there has been no accurate way to measure or understand the results of these efforts. Our automated reports will accurately display the quantity of material recycled, the waste diversion percentage and its impact on the environment for our customers.”     

Alpine’s entire fleet of 60 trucks has been outfitted with this system. Additionally, Alpine says it is in the process of transitioning its entire fleet to natural gas-powered vehicles.
