Small Business Cardboard Project


City and county small businesses now have the opportunity to recycle clean, flattened corrugated cardboard at the city landfill on Nelson Ave.
With that in mind I decided, in coordination with landfill manager Dunham, to test the efficacy of the effort by collecting one week's worth of material from a local store.
The manager of the Speedway station on S. South St. agreed to participate in the exercise.
In seven days I collected,weighed and delivered 220 pounds of material to the landfill. This amount equates to over 5.7 tons per year. A worthy result, so small guys don't throw those boxes in the dumpster, bring'm on down.
