Applegate Green Fiber Paper Recycling Program

Recycling at risk: Greenfiber may shut down recycling trailer over fireworks and trash misuse As the Fourth of July approaches, Greenfiber, a local insulation manufacturer in Norfolk, is urging the public to dispose of used fireworks responsibly and not in the recycling trailer it

ATTENTION:
After many years of working together, we are sadly announcing that we are DISCONTINUING THE GREENFIBER COMMUNITY RECYCLE PROGRAM. The cost of the collection program isn’t sustainable due to rising transportation costs and changes in the type of recycled material collected in the program. The shift in fiber streams was exasperated by Covid and new purchasing patterns resulting in significant changes to our feedstock and product impacts. The result of this shift has resulted in substantially higher transportation costs and other challenges to the program overall.
We will be collecting bins over the next few weeks and will work with you to help provide other options for your recycling to help minimize the impact on your organization. We will continue to offer the ability to bring material to our location, that we will then utilize in our operation.
Thank you for your support over the years.

Fits & Giggles Daycare took a trip to watch the recycling truck, and learn more about our company. Touching the insulation and pumping the arms to make the driver honk the horn, was the highlight of the day for them. It was an honor to share our history of the company with these little friends of ours.
