By the end of this week, another truck will be filled and ready for the trip south of the border to Inmetco where the collection boxes and contents will meet their recycling destiny.
You need an awful lot of used rechargeable batteries and cell phones to fill one of these trucks. A couple of years ago, we might have had one or two trips a year. Now we are making many more of them annually.
We’ve crossed the million-kilogram-collection point months ago and are well underway in the planning for our tenth anniversary celebrations this September.
And so, as the door closes and the truck makes its way down the road, we have the chance to stop for a moment to reflect on the many people and organizations who have voluntarily banded together to make our recycling program both possible as well as a very real and successful reality … and say “thanks for making a difference”.
