In October, CWM recycled the following to Imperial Recycling:
- 835 lbs. of cardboard
- 196 lbs. of plastic
- 52 lbs. of paper
- 1,139 lbs. of wood
CWM also delivered 4 pounds of Styrofoam to the Village of Western Springs Public Work. Groot Recycling picked up roughly 5 yards of mixed recyclables as well. That includes 479 pounds of cans, plastic bottles, newspapers, etc., deposited in our blue barrels around the plant.
For October, we diverted 2,705 pounds from our landfills. As a side note, we have collected 76 pounds of Styrofoam YTD – that might seem like a small amount, but that much material can fill an 8-foot by 10-foot room! Check out our Environmental Practices page to learn more!
