Our waste consulting services ensure we fulfill customers’ needs from day one. Based on the site’s specific needs, Monarch tailors a waste management plan that ensures your waste is appropriately rendered, removed, and disposed of.

The initial consult includes a thorough evaluation, during which Monarch experts determine the amount of hazardous and non-hazardous waste material we will remove and answer any questions you may have.

Using proprietary methods, Monarch conveniently and compliantly renders all non-hazardous marijuana plant waste before removing it from your facility. Our on-site rendering process involves grinding and incorporating your non-hazardous marijuana plant waste with non-marijuana plant waste.

Monarch provides facilities with receptacles to collect their green, manufactured, and mixed waste between scheduled disposals. We deliver these receptacles directly to the facilities and provide quarterly can cleaning.

Our recycling programs are tailored to meet the strict standards for government compliance in the cannabis industry while supporting your business's operations and sustainability goals.

Disposable Vape Recycling Program
Our exclusive Disposable Vape Recycling Program is at the forefront of addressing the environmental concerns associated with disposable cannabis vapes. Recognizing the critical need to manage lithium-ion batteries safely, we have developed a method to efficiently separate and remove these batteries from disposable vapes. After extraction, the batteries are responsibly recycled with local certified recyclers.

This meticulous process ensures compliance with the EPA's sustainability guidelines and guarantees that all operations are conducted safely, minimizing potential hazards during transportation and processing.

When we recycle lithium-ion batteries, we help the planet.

• Conservation of valuable natural resources

• Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

• Preservation of critical minerals such as cobalt and lithium.

Beverage Can Recycling
In addition to our vape recycling efforts, Monarch also manages the recycling of cans from cannabis-infused beverages. Our process involves rendering the cans’ contents unusable before crushing and locally recycling the material. By supporting the recycling of metals, we can significantly reduce the energy and the mass of raw materials needed to produce new products.
