Does social media really help the recycling industry?


Most businesses have some kind of social media presence now.  Restaurants post their menus online while stores use the internet to advertise limited time only specials. 

But what about recycling companies?  Where do they belong in the social media landscape?

The industry seems to have embraced this new form of interacting with customers.  Many recycling companies now have Twitter accounts and blogs where they offer their best tips for going green. 

But does social media actually encourage people to recycle?  Tell us what you think.  How have different sites like Facebook and Twitter had an impact on your business?

  1. I think social media does help encourage people to recycle. The peer pressure of thousands of people can be very persuasive. Sites like Facebook, Twitter and our blogs have helped us establish relationships with other companies and organizations much more quickly than other traditional methods. They have also helped us build stronger relationships and generate more leads in a shorter amount of time than we would have been able to without using these methods.
