The Olive Twist

The Olive Twist is an olive oil and vinegar store with two locations that recycles bottles with a discount to customers for bottle return. This helps customers save money, reduces shipping costs for new bottles, and keeps glass out of the landfill.

Some accomplishments from the past year are:

Customer education and outreach on bottle recycling through signs, word of mouth, social media, newsletters, and events.
Reaching out to other olive oil stores to implement recycling.
Reuse other materials as possible such as bags and boxes.
Saving money for themselves and customers through re-use and recycling.
Recycled 5800 bottles in 2013, on track to recycle over 7000 this year. Saving $14,750 per year in new bottles and shipping.
