Our local independent businesses provide much more than just good prices:

Better Service
Local owners and employees really know their businesses and their customers — and can offer you more personalized service and relevant advice.

Superior Quality
Many locally owned independents provide higher-quality products and services to you than the average national chain business.

Unique Choices
Independent local businesses bring their own creativity to their businesses — offering selections you won’t find elsewhere.

 

 

Our City and County local independents are just a click away.

Our members are local independents who’ve taken a stand to help spread the word about locals, by joining the BUILD St. Louis business alliance. Please patronize their businesses – and refer friends and family to them, as well.

Blue Skies Recycling | BlueSkiesRecycling.com
636 532 BLUE (2583) | 2055 Walton Rd in Overland (63114) Map
Founded in March of 2010, we’re the first St. Louis-based company to offer a "valet" food-waste recycling program. Restaurants and companies that participate in our “valet” food recycling collection program, place their food waste and other organic waste in yellow color-coded bins that are typically located in the kitchen/food preparation areas. Once the bins are loaded, we exchange them with clean, sterilized totes while the loaded containers are transported to a fully permitted composting facility. Carts for glass and paper are also color coded and marked. No matter what your recycling needs are, we can design a customized recycling plan for your restaurant or company that fits your needs.
