EcoCart® Waste & Recycling Carts
Closing the Loop on Curbside Plastics
EcoCart® is the world’s first waste and recycling cart made with plastic collected directly from residential curbside recycling programs.
EcoCart is made from 10% plastic collected from curbside recycling and up to 40% post consumer recycled plastic.
Support Domestic Recycling
Upgrade Your Cart Collection
Instead of exporting recovered plastics overseas, Cascade helps create domestic demand by turning curbside material into durable new carts.
Through a closed-loop recycling process, bulky rigid plastics collected from homes are processed and reintroduced into manufacturing. The result is a high-quality cart made with real post-consumer material.
