Data makes a difference

Previous industry Take Back Programs were designed to fail from the outset. With “too many hands in the cookie jar,” undisclosed costs, and lost or altered data, the unintentional results are environmentally damaging and most often, counter-intuitive. CheckSammy is different. CheckSammy is better.

Empowering Take Back Programs with Tech

Simplified Material Collection

CheckSammy's Drop program is suitable for retailers and manufacturers, empowering a holistic Take Back Program Whether you use one of our containers, or store them onsite using yours, when they get full we'll pick them up and take them to a sustainable destination, diverting material from landfill and benefiting your bottom line.

Detailed ESG Reporting & Analytics

We not only help you make a positive impact to the planet and to your bottom line, we provide detailed reporting to quantify the positive impact you make. Our reporting can integrate to your very specific needs, and we provide Certificates of Diversion and Destruction as well as documented, auditable visual evidence for your compliance needs.

Immediate Impacts for Your ESG Score

If you're looking to accelerate your path to zero carbon, the CheckSammy Carbon Offset Marketplace gives your a trusted source to immediately improve your carbon metrics, while supporting worthwhile projects.

Moving Materials With Purpose

We know that materials have to be moved from their source, and that there's a carbon cost involved in doing so. That's why we developed a network of more than 25,000 facilities across the continent - to minimize the miles traveled from source to destination. We don't believe in shipping materials overseas when so many solutions exist domestically.
