Twilio customer Earth911.com provides 1-800-CLEANUP to make it easier than ever before to recycle consumer products.

For Earth Day give them a call to try it out, and you’ll be greeted by a friendly voice ready to help you find the correct way to rid yourself of over 100,000 products you may no longer need.  Not only will your house be more organized, but you’ll help save the environment in the process.

Reaching Beyond the Internet

As Earth911 staff member Jennifer Berry mentions, on their blog:

“A study by Parks Associates said that 29 percent of all U.S. households
(about 31 million) don’t have Internet access. But with 1-800-CLEANUP,
everyone has a chance to be a steward of their local community.”
