Going Green! Recycling Dos and Don’ts

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Infinity International

Many consumers and communities still haven’t developed a strong “green” program, so, Real Living developed a program for our agents to promote to their clients called “Going Green.” Today’s topic is “Recycling Dos and Don’ts” to help with recycling efforts. As a Real Living franchise and/or agent, all the marketing material for this program and many other programs are provided for our agents through our integrated agent platform. If you’re ready to grow, it’s got to be Real!
