YOUR QUESTIONS
ANSWERED
ISN'T THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY'S
REYCLING SYSTEM GOOD ENOUGH?
While the recycling system is helpful in preventing some reusable and recyclable items from entering a landfill or being incinerated,
it is far from extensive.
​
Many items are impossible to separate out because of the bulk collection (i.e. the process of picking up everyone’s recycling and putting it into one big truck to be combined with other trucks).
In addition, the local municipality
only takes certain items
and our list is much more extensive.
Check out what we take vs what
the City of Philadelphia takes here.
WHAT IS THE POINT
OF DOING ALL THIS?
Simply put, the majority of uncontaminated items that end up in landfills can actually
be recycled, reprocessed, or reused.
​
Less than 10% of household and
business items are properly recycled.
Over 97% of household and business items
that end up in landfills are made from a combination or single source sub-material(s):
rubbers, plastics, metals, and fabrics.
Through decomposition and separation,
our team is able to increase the number
of items recycled and reduce
the number of items going to landfills.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH ALL
THE ITEMS YOU COLLECT?
Once we collect a customer’s container,
we separate the items into their corresponding profiles.
Some items need further deconstruction
if they contain multiple profiles.
Then the materials are either
recycled, donated, or reused
based on certain criteria.
WHAT SIZE ARE YOUR CONTAINERS?
18-GALLON BIN
Height: ~14.5"
Length: ~17"
WOULD YOU BE WILLING
TO LET CUSTOMERS
USE SOME OF YOUR
MATERIALS?
If we are in your area more than once a week,
we offer a morning and afternoon shift
for most areas.
Please make us aware of this issue and we'll
do what we can for scheduling.
Keep your items as close to your household as possible. We are working on signage on our bins to deter the trash / recycling crew and the public from taking them.
OUR TRASH DAY IS IN CONFLICT WITH A DAY
YOU ARE IN MY ZIPCODE?
IS IT OKAY TO SET OUT ADDITIONAL
ITEMS THAT WONT FIT IN MY BINS?
Absolutely. Please send us a photo and
description of your additional items / volume.
In order for us to avoid
over-scheduling, we need the volume of
our customer’s pickups ahead of time.
You will be charged for the additional items based on the volume in gallons of the oveflow.
​
​
DO I NEED TO BE PRESENT AT THE TIME OF PICKUP OR DROP OFF?
We encourage our customers to help us find resourceful ways to recycle and reuse items.
Customers can utilize our TAKE MATERIALS FROM US page and schedule a time to visit us to comb through our supplies!
Materials such as metal, wood, furniture,
and ceramics can be used for household projects, decorations, or even arts and crafts!
We let our customers have access to these and other types of items before we recycle them.
No, this is up to you!
You can leave us directions such as:
“Leave the container on the front steps”
or “by the side of the house”.
However, if you have questions or feedback,
speaking to one of our team members
in person is a great way to learn more about us!

DO WE STILL NEED TO CONTACT RABBIT
WHEN WE ARE READY
FOR A PICKUP?
OR SHOULD WE SET IT OUT ON A DAY WHEN
YOU ARE ALREADY IN
OUR AREA?
Unless you have already coordinated with us
to ​schedule automatic recurring pickups,
You must utilize our
Online Store to order your pickups.
​
You'll be contacted by our
Customer Coordinator confirming
the coming date of service.
​
We will be in your area based on our zone schedule. We have a limit on the number of pickups we can take per route.
On-Demand customers are
scheduled for the next available route.
HOW DO I PAY?
WHAT METHODS OF
PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
We now have a new Online Store that handles the ordering of On-Demand pickups / deliveries.
​
You can pay via Credit Card or Paypal through our store's checkout page
​
If you have additional materials for your pickup, you'll receive an email invoice, payable by CC and Paypal, after pickup occurs.
​
Subscribers are billed via a similar email invoice system. They receive automaticall recurring invoices for the price of their desired number
of pickups for that month.
HOW DOES IT WORK IF I
REQUEST MULTIPLE BINS?
ARE THEY ALL PICKED UP
AT ONCE? OR ONE AT A TIME?
It’s up to you!
If you request multiple bins, you can
have one bin or more bins picked up at a time. You could have three containers delivered,
but request only one be collected in a subsequent PICKUP-ONLY order
