And, their grand-children's world!
Come on down to the
Wilmington landfill and drop off your flattened, clean
corrugated
cardboard. The community, including individuals and businesses in and
outside the city needs to act now if we are to: a. extend the life of
the current facility.
b.
keep the cost of the curbside recycling at 0.
c.
Return the material for reuse, thus saving finite resources.
According
to one internet source “...the effect on the environment of
recycling one ton of cardboard saves about nine cubic yards of
landfill space, 700 gallons of water and forty six gallons of oil.
If
participation doesn't
increase
the program will not be able to continue and those that care will
have no choice but to put their material in the trash and that will
use up land fill space.
Small
business establishments are pouring tons of this reusable material
into our landfill every month and we need to give them the an option
to do the right thing by making the program work.
Come
on down and please, please spread the word.
It's
been a long hard struggle to get this program off the ground and we
would be a worse off community if we let it die of apathy and
neglect.
