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.
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.
EcoCart is made from 10% plastic collected from curbside recycling and up to 40% post consumer recycled plastic.
Custom Colors
EcoCart® is available in up to 10 colors. Recycled content percentage varies by color.
Permanent Graphics
Make your program stand out with permanent, full-color lid graphics, multiple hot stamp locations, and custom identification options.
RFID/QR Smartcarts
Get RFID/QR tags standard on every cart so you can track and optimize your collections.
Snap-On Wheels
Tough and durable. No tools needed.
