Portland RecycleWorks Award

Portland businesses are a key part of our community's goal to increase recycling and reduce waste that ends up in landfills. The Office of Sustainable Development's RecycleWorks Award is presented to businesses in the City of Portland that serve as role models for others in the City, reducing, reusing, recycling, making sustainable purchasing choices and going beyond recycling by participating in at least one other sustainable practice.

To learn more about the RecycleWorks program or to see how to qualify for the award, go to the Office of Sustainable Development's Web site.

Recycling efforts at the Portland Business Alliance were rewarded with the RecycleWorks award presented to the Alliance on June 9, 2008. The RecycleWorks award is presented by the City of Portland's Office of Sustainable Development to businesses serving as a role model through reducing, reusing, recycling, making sustainable purchasing choices and going beyond recycling by participating in at least one other sustainable practice.

The Alliance's green practices include: providing recycling for all paper, bottles and cans; covering recycling and waste prevention quarterly at staff meetings; establishing systems to effectively use the blank side of all paper printed single-sided; use of durable dishware and durable silverware; paperless check stubs; changing from paper to electronic publications and more.

Below is a list of Alliance members who were also recognized with the RecycleWorks award for going above and beyond recycling.
