Environmental Stewards

Leading by Example

We take pride in caring for the environment where we live and work. As a locally owned company, we have a personal stake in keeping our communities clean. We recognize and embrace our role in being good environmental stewards in handling waste transportation and processing. By recycling and composting, we are diverting thousands of tons of materials from the landfill each year.

Environment

Each ton (2000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 7000 gallons of water. This represents a 64% energy savings, a 58% water savings, and 60 pounds less of air pollution!
