Recycling, Running and Rain

Most everyone has heard of the 3 R's, right? Rain, Running, and Recycling. If you are in a spring softball league these 3 R's are more prevelent than Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Last night at Noble Sports Park I personally witnessed the first set of 3 R's, it was raining, our team was running and the recycling carts are back at the park!

So don't forget, when you're at the softball fields or on the go, don't throw away that bottle or can, look for a recycling cart! It's just 1 can you say, well recycling 1 aluminum can saves enough energy to power a television for 3 hours!

Results from Spring Recycling Day

This past Saturday we had our Spring Special Material Drop-Off. We set a new record for one of our events with 1,692 vehicles brought in t.v.'s, computers, appliances, etc for recycling. That's serving over 4 vehicles per minute. We received 110,000 lbs. of electronics, 500+ appliances, 1,400+ gallons of oil. Great job to the people who brought things in for recycling and great job to the workers that made things go smoothly!

Happy Earth Day

What can I say, it is the day that started it all. Do something good today, something for you, something for someone else, something for mother earth. Do a little thing that makes a difference. Drive the speed limit (this can be an eye opening experience for some), walk that extra few feet and put that paper in the recycling bin, park in the back of the parking lot and walk a few more extra steps. Turn out the lights when you're not in a room. These little things can make a big difference! Happy Earth Day!

National Cell Phone Recycling Week

I don't think there are any unclaimed weeks or months left anymore, you know, real exciting things like National Estate Planning Week (Sept. 20-26 last year), or national fitness month (May). Personally, I'm looking for a National Napping Day. What? Wait...it really does exist? (National Napping Day was March 9th) I missed it!

Anyway, my plug is for National Cell Phone Recycling Week, which is next week April 6-12. I don't want to spoil the exciting details, so you can see the details at the link above.

I wonder if there is a National Blogging Day?...Why do I even question it's existence, Google says it exists.
