Businesses Can Let People Know The Types Of Materials They Accept For Recycling via GMB Attributes

Now you can find out where you can recycle or properly dispose of specific items by looking at Business Profiles on Google Maps and Search.

Starting today, merchants who have verified Business Profiles on Google can easily add information about what items they recycle using Google My Business. You’ll be able to see what places accept materials — like clothing, electronics, batteries, household hazardous waste, light bulbs and glass bottles — so you know you’re keeping these items out of the landfill.

Soon people who visit certain locations will be prompted to answer questions in Maps after their visit so they can let others know what types of materials can be recycled.

If you recycle materials at a local business, you can also suggest an edit to their Business Profile to help let others know.
