EARTHWORM, INC
35 Medford Street, Somerville, Massachusetts, United States

Earthworm’s mission is to promote recycling in the workplace. We accomplish this by providing a collection service that is easy for first time recyclers to implement. Also, by reducing barriers to recycling through friendly assistance, flexible programs and affordability, Earthworm enables small businesses and others who are underserved by the private sector to establish office recycling programs.

Earthworm also recognizes that there are many other local groups who are working toward similar goals of conserving natural resources. Earthworm further promotes recycling through collaboration, mentoring and direct support to these groups.

arthworm collects and recycles most paper that is generated in the workplace. See the chart below for a list of what we can and cannot recycle.
