ecycler has two users, Collectors and Discarders. Discarders make recyclables available from the home or business and Collectors pick up recyclables from discarders. Collectors redeem or sell the recyclables to a buyback or recycling center of their choice.
If you are new to ecycler here is how to get started as a Collector...
Start marketing yourself locally with your poster or business cards that can be downloaded and printed from your dashboard on ecycler.com.
To attract residential customers--typically those who live in single family homes--we suggest placing your custom poster in coffee shops, grocery stores or any place that community postings are allowed.
To attract commercial customers we suggest that you contact them directly and provide them with a business card and your poster. You can direct them to your ecycler profile and point out your positive feedback that you may have received through numerous ecycler transactions to indicate that you are a reliable collector. In many areas single family residential homes have single-stream recycling (aka the city provided recycling bins). In these areas you may have more success approaching condos and businesses and arrange with the manager to collect the recyclables from the building.
