good riddance
what we do
The endless stream of dumpsters filled when a production wraps has been thought of as an unavoidable part of filmmaking. Crew members have too much on their plate to think about responsible material disposal - that's where we come in! We help coordinate material donations and recycling quickly and easily while saving production the additional costs from waste hauling.
our services
Inventory all assets for donations and specialty recycling
Utilize our donation partner database and itemized donation tracking system
Match all recoverable assets with receiving partners
Coordinate transportation and troubleshoot on-site
Engage vetted last resort waste and recycling haulers
Itemize assets for donation receipts, tracking, and data reports
Create a final Waste Diversion & Beneficiary Report
Based on the volume of materials handled by Film Biz Recycling during its NYC operations, we believe a conservative estimate of current industry assets that have the potential to be diverted from landfill to reuse markets would be in the range of
1,200-1,500 tons per year
or approximately 2.5-3 million pounds of materials.
why work with us
From our industry-wide analysis, we have identified the key challenges to material recovery in production and strategized our Good Riddance program as a solution in direct response to those challenges.
fast
Time is probably the most valuable commodity in the world of entertainment. Having dedicated staff who can afford to identify responsible solutions and coordinate logistics will ensure that material recovery can be as efficient as possible and can be seen as a feasible alternative to landfilling.
easy
Proper waste disposal is very complicated but our past experience allows us to smoothen out the process and avoid the production staff reinventing the wheel. Even if new issues arise, we will take on the required legwork.
affordable
Efficient material repurposing is oftentimes much cheaper than paying for bulk waste hauling. These savings often more than make up for the cost of bringing on an Eco Department, making us the only production department that provides a Return on Investment.
