Each month at CWM, we take time to reflect on the positive environmental impact we’re making — not through lofty goals, but through everyday actions. April was no exception.
Together with our team and partners, we recycled a total of 3,449 pounds of materials this month. Here’s what we diverted from the landfill:

- Wood: 1,618 lbs.
- Cardboard: 1,185 lbs.
- Mixed Recyclables: 356 lbs.
- Plastic: 168 lbs.
- Electronics: 122 lbs.
This isn’t just about numbers — it’s about progress. These materials might seem ordinary, but choosing to recycle them instead of tossing them out helps conserve resources, reduce pollution, and promote a more sustainable future.
Every department plays a role in this effort, and we’re grateful for the continued participation and awareness across the organization.
Let’s keep building on this momentum — one pallet, one box, one device at a time.
