Waste to Worship · Honest Recovery · Public Proof
Christ Inc Waste to Worship
We convert “waste” into worship: clean systems, dignified work, and ledgers that prove love landed not green theater.
Summary “Waste to Worship”
Kingdom stewardship tells the truth about waste streams and then builds clean rails that turn materials into mercy. We start with honest inventory (what’s actually in the pile), dignified labor (paid, trained crews), and audited downstreams (where every pound goes). Worship isn’t a soundtrack; it’s receipts, repairs, and neighbors served.
- Heart: People over PR; repentance where dumping or deceit happened; dignity in every step.
- Hands: Sorting, safe repair, compliant transport, verified processors, fair pricing.
- Rails: EIN-posted partners, itemized receipts, chain-of-custody, public dashboards.
GIANT WARNING COMMON CONS, SCHEMES & GREENWASHING
Red flags (general patterns)
- “100% recycled” claims with no downstream tickets materials quietly landfilled.
- Anonymous donation bins: vague “for charity” labels; for-profit collectors; no receipts or ledgers.
- Export loopholes: e-waste/clothing shipped as “reuse,” dumped abroad; zero chain-of-custody.
- Photo-op cleanups: bags to landfill, no upstream fixes or diversion reporting.
- Broker fog: middlemen skim value; neighbors see no benefit; no EIN or itemized records.
- Miracle “upcycling” gadgets: big claims, no third-party audits, no tonnage proof.
Protect your gift and your city
- Require receipts & chain-of-custody to named processors; publish weights by material.
- Prefer staffed sites with EIN on the wall and itemized donor receipts.
- Ask for a public dashboard: pounds in, pounds diverted, items repaired/placed, funds use.
- Ban export-without-proof: compliance docs, destinations, and reuse verification required.
