Municipalities
ORBIS helps municipalities, cities and counties improve their recycling rates and conserve resources with Norseman Environmental Products. As an industry leader, we understand how recycling and waste diversion programs work. Our team of experts work with you to identify your recycling and diversion goals, assists in the planning of a program to support these goals and becomes an integral part of the seamless implementation of your program to meet the needs of your community.
Rain/Stormwater Diversion:
- The SYSTERN Rain Barrel is designed for homeowner use and effectively collects rain water in order to divert rain water from storm water systems and water treatment facilities effectively lowering your infrastructure costs.
- Rain water, free from chlorine and water treatment chemicals, is an excellent water source for lawns, plants and gardens. The SYSTERN Rain Barrel installs in just minutes into existing downspouts and has a capacity of 55 gallons (208L) and can be linked to another SYSTERN for greater capacity. We have developed several turnkey distribution programs that can help your community succeed in your stormwater goals.
Composting Programs:
Organic materials can make up as much as 50% of the composition of municipal solid waste from residential communities disposed of at community landfills. Residential and commercial composting programs can be an effective way to divert organic waste from landfills.- Backyard Composting: The Earth Machine™ was recently picked by www.disneyfamily.com as the most preferred compost bin on the market today and one of the top 12 items needed to be a “green home”. This compost bin, made with up to 75% recycled plastic content, was designed for residents to compost food and yard waste, effectively diverting it from landfills. The resulting compost can be used in lawns and gardens to provide valuable nutrients to plants. Residents often combine the Earth Machine™ with its companion, the Norseman Kitchen Collector, for easy, clean and efficient food waste collection from the kitchen. We have developed several turnkey distribution programs that can help your community succeed in your organics diversion goals. Contact us today to find out how your community can join almost 3 million Earth Machine users.
- Municipal-Wide Composting Programs: The Green Bin and Green Bin+ are designed for municipalities with food waste recovery and organic material recycling programs. These recycling bins offer residents an efficient method to collect food and kitchen waste for curbside collection. The Green Bin and Green Bin+ are typically combined with the Norseman Kitchen Collector for clean and efficient food waste collection from the kitchen. The Green Bin (13 gallon) and Green Bin+ (21 gallon) are also hauler-friendly. The Green Bin is specifically designed for manual collection while The Green Bin+ is designed to work with automated and semi-automated truck lifts. The Green Bin+ is the only oraganics recycling container of its kind on the market today specifically designed for food waste collection. It is also ideal for many commercial applications.
