Helping Businesses Recycle Since 1970
Earthworm is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1970. Our goal is to lower the hurdles that businesses face when they seek to establish recycling programs for paper, bottles and cans, and office electronics. We are happy to serve small businesses and can accommodate all sizes of office cleanouts. Our staff is friendly, helpful and committed. Our recycling programs are perfect for first time recyclers and are designed to reduce cost, maximize space, and provide a level of service that overcomes the challenges presented by Boston’s eclectic buildings.
To reduce cost, Earthworm offers the possibility of free recycling through the purchase of recycled copy paper. In some areas, we offer the option of an affordable curbside collection service. We also provide the free use of recycling containers for collecting and storing recyclables.
To maximize space, Earthworm uses 34 gallon recycling containers that are smaller than the industry standard and fit more easily into tight spaces. We can also provide hampers for larger clients and cleanouts.
To make recycling convenient, Earthworm offers flexible programs that suit the varying needs of Boston’s business community. We also offer the option of in office pick ups for clients who value a high level of service.
Finally, Earthworm further promotes the wise use of resources by supporting and cooperating with other Boston area nonprofit organizations that accept and reuse scrap materials.

For the month of May, Earthworm would like to commend Tim (pictured above) and Paul of Arborjet, who construct some of the best cardboard hampers we've seen! Their organization maximizes the space capabilities in the hampers, facilitating an efficient and economical (not to mention tidy) way to recycle. Arborjet has been a valued customer of Earthworm since 2003.
