At CWM, we believe real environmental impact comes from consistent, everyday actions rather than lofty promises—and May was no different.
Thanks to the efforts of our team and partners, we successfully recycled 3,947 pounds of material last month. Here’s what we kept out of the landfill:
- Cardboard: 1,575 lbs.
- Plastic: 234 lbs.
- Paper: 79 lbs.
- Wood: 1,697 lbs.
- Mixed Recyclables: 362 lbs.

This isn’t just about numbers — it’s about progress. These materials may seem ordinary, but choosing to recycle them instead of discarding them 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 of recycling across the organization.
Let’s keep building on this momentum — one pallet, one box, one device at a time.
