    Our commitment to reuse and recycling is evident in our waste reuse programs, including communicating available tax incentives and making available to industry a forum for linking those generating waste by-products with potential users.

     

    In support of our goal to assist customers with waste minimization practices, our no-fee Waste Exchange service is another example of GEM’s desire to offer more than traditional waste disposal services.
