RECLAIM AND RE-USE
- Target: BUSINESSES
- Sponsored by: Patrick Kobold (Personal)
Its important to realize the impact of what we consider as 'trash', and start to recycle more. There are some good programs in place, but I feel more can be done.
I work at a manufacturing facility, in the office, the company does recycle cardboard, and in the past recycled paper waste. They do not do this anymore. It is a side project of mine, and have the receipts to prove it,but I collect the paper waste in from a majority of the office and take it to 'MAIN STREET FIBERS' located in Ontario, California. I have probably dropped off a TON or more of paper/mixed paper.
I am not doing this for the money, as the payout is $5 per ton of mixed paper in California.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH
Require companies to at least consider recycling their paper waste.
POSITIVE IMPACT
-Less waste goes to landfill.
-Less dependence on forest(s).
-Private services are created to collect such waste.
-Feel good that you are helping.
NEGATIVE IMPACT
-Energy spent on recycling paper can be quite significant.
-If state mandated, tax would be source of funding for program.
Thanks for reading.
BEFORE YOU THROW THAT IN THE TRASH CAN:
Consider recycling it. It does not require much effort to separate items. Honestly, I work in an office, and almost all the trash I find in the waste basket is paper, aluminum cans, or wrappers.
