"In a trial of the ClearStream Recycling container, we were able to increase the amount of bottles and cans recycled at sporting events by 30%. And during reunions Weekend, we increased the collection by 200%. We think one reason for the success is that they DON 'T look like the average trash receptacle.
Another benefit is that the ClearStream containers store in minimal (valuable) space. We have purchased more ClearStreams to further increase participation in the University of Virginia 's award winning recycling program, particularly during any special events."

"Our organization, along with the City of Portland, has provided recycling containers and assistance to major events in Portland, Oregon for over nine years, serving millions of event attendees.
We have tried just about every style of recycling container on the market over the years including a recent pilot of the ClearStream™ Recyclers. The ClearStream™ Recycler is one of the most effective recycling containers available! It is easily stored, transported, set up and is highly effective at reducing contamination. We want more of them!"

“Our school just recently switched from selling beverages in cans to selling only plastic bottles. The ClearStream™ Recyclers have been really handy.
We have units stationed in the commons area (where lots of students gather both before and after school), outside the cafeteria doors (where students can drop off their bottles on their way out), and in a few classrooms, where the teacher requested the Recycler because the trashcan they used to use for recycling was always over flowing.”

“We bought a case of ClearStream™ Recyclers to use in an apartment building at Duke University. We have one set up on each floor to collect plastic bottles and aluminum cans. We love them, and are very pleased. They are everything we had hoped they would be! We’ve had very good feedback from the students who live in the apartments.
I haven’t been monitoring the results too closely, but all appears well. We’ve had no complaints about contamination!”

Harvard University - Alumni Weekend
We bought our first fifteen sets of ClearStreams last spring for Alumni Weekend. The only people on campus are the graduating seniors and the alumni returning for their 10th, 25th and 35th reunions. The tradition has been going on for decades where they have lots of parties and there is a lot of drinking. Historically it’s been hard to chase down the caterers and explain that Harvard University has a recycling policy.
So what we did this year for the first time was place six ClearStream Stations in the busiest tents, equipped with a trash bag and a garbage bag. They were easy to deliver and took little training on how to set up the bags so they don’t blow away.
Glass comes in cardboard boxes, whether its beer or champagne. We save the cases and stick the bottles back into the cases for recycling.
During the events I watched people using it. They’d come up with an arm full of two plates, two cups, two cans, and bottles. They would actually use the sorter lid to put the bottles in. No directions necessary. It is obvious what it is. They want to do what everyone else is doing and be the environmental do gooder that does the right thing.
