How it works
ICT has come up with an simple and innovative recycling model to recycle beverage containers more efficiently.
ICT provides a convenient, time saving solution that pays customers for recyclable goods.
Per survey, In 15 days a small start up company generates 10 pounds of aluminum trash, 15 pounds of PET plastic trash, and 12 pounds of glass trash. As per California Redemption Value, Company discarding recycle goods are worth
Plastic 20 pounds = $1.20 (price of 1 pound according to CRV ) * 20 = $24
aluminum 15 pounds = $1.57 (price of 1 pound according to CRV ) * 15 = $23.55
Glass 12 pounds = $0.10 price of 1 pound according to CRV ) * 12 = $1.24
Total = $48.79 ( In 15 days )
Calculate recycle goods using the calculator. We referenced all the values as per CRV. Here is the link CRV
