When they moved to Broken Arrow over three years ago, friends Peggy Klare and Vicki Gaines didn't know what to do with their recyclable refuse.

"We had both been recycling for several years, I in Tulsa and she in Oklahoma City, and we were surprised to find they didn't have it here, so she had the idea of starting our own company one day so, I said let's go for it," said Vicki Gaines.

GREAT NEWS FOR GENTLE EARTH RECYCLING CUSTOMERS!!!

We are now using a new dual recycling program that has been made available to us by Green Star. This system allows us to separate the recycling items into only two (dual) categories instead of 8 as we do now. This process allows for many more items to be recycled.

In order to give you the benefit of recycling more items, we will require that the recyclables be separated into the two categories as listed below. Please place fiber items in a separate bin or under the bin and cover with a trash bag on rainy days. Put all shredded paper in a paper bag and do not place confidential material in the bins to be recycled. We cannot guarantee privacy of these documents.

If you find that you need extra bins, you may purchase them from us by calling 918.630.0841. We will be glad to deliver them to your doorstep. Or, you may use similar sized bins that you already have on hand. Please no 30 gallon trash cans or trash bags.
