Paper Recycling

Good Morning Folks - It has been a long time, again. My apologies, again. I have spent the past year entrenched in the waste paper industry learning how to obtain materials for a mill that makes 100% recycled paper products. Obviously, it has been a real treat for me work in an industry so close to my heart.

Paper is a trade able commodity. The price rises and falls just like other commodities in our economy. A lot of times, those that produce quite a bit of waste paper, know what the material is worth. Sometimes, those ideas are a bit inflated. And, most times, I get to divert materials destined for the landfill. Diverting those tons is the most rewarding.

America Recycles Day is November 15th, and is fast approaching. There will be many events around your community providing opportunities to recycle various materials. Most events will provide a paper shredding event. Fear not, that material will make it to the recyclers!

Are you recycling at home? Does your office or work place recycle? Please post a comment telling us how.
