From Harford County government:
Harford County government, in partnership with Maryland Environmental Service, is pleased to announce that St. Joan of Arc School and Tidewater Marina have won Harford County’s Business Recycling and Waste Reduction Awards for 2016. These annual awards, now in their second year, promote environmental conservation by celebrating local organizations with innovative and successful recycling and waste reduction programs for their employees and customers.
Located in Aberdeen, St. Joan of Arc School serves students in pre-K through grade 8 and collects items from students and staff for single stream and e waste recycling. The school’s Environmental Club leads initiatives such as Waste-Free Wednesdays, when students are asked to bring lunch items to school only in reusable containers. The school also encourages students and staff to learn about and practice waste reduction and recycling.
Tidewater Marina in Havre de Grace offers a variety of recycling programs to employees and customers, including collecting items for single stream, electronics and battery recycling. The marina also offers waste oil and antifreeze recycling services and participates in Harford County’s shrink wrap recycling program. To reduce waste the company is reusing materials when feasible and converting from paper to electronic reports and documentation.
“Congratulations to St. Joan of Arc School and Tidewater Marina, our Harford County Business Recycling and Waste Reduction Award winners for 2016,” said County Executive Barry Glassman. “These organizations are leading the way, helping Harford County to protect our natural resources today and for the next generation.”
Recycling and waste reduction help reduce individual impacts on our environment through the conservation of resources. Recycling services in Harford County are available curbside through private haulers or at the Harford Waste Disposal Center in Street. More information is available at www.harfordrecycles.org. Waste reduction strategies include buying in bulk, reducing packaging, and providing materials that are reusable rather than disposable.
Harford County businesses and other organizations that work to recycle and reduce waste are welcome to apply for the 2017 Business Recycling and Waste Reduction Awards. Applications are due by March 31, 2017 and are available at http://www.harfordcountymd.gov/199/Business-Recycling-and-Waste-Reduction-A. For more information, please call 410-638-3018 or email mfili@menv.com.
Good Grief….there is actually an award for this?….Just like the Association I belong to in my Industry…so much back rubbing it makes me sick!
Yes, there is an award for this, didn’t you read the article? Actually the effort saves the county money, saves precious landfill space, and keeps the federal grant money coming in. It may make the a short sighted person sick but it helps promote what is good for the county and the county taxpayer.
Recycling is a scam
I apologize for my last moronic post. As you can see, I’m suffering from a split personality disorder. Recycling is good for the environment and the economy.
Recycling provides jobs, lots of jobs. It conserves resources, and helps provide sustainment. Unfortunately it doesn’t provide an education to stupid people. You can’t fix stupid.
Just for the record, I am a tree hugging liberal that fully believes that Hillary would have been a perfect fit for my agenda. I’m totally against the coal industry and creating more jobs. We should have open boarders that welcomes everyone. Obama was a great president, he will be missed, I still cry myself to sleep every night since Trump won, what am I to do, please help me. I love Babs and O’Malley and O’Mallet should run for pres in 4 years.
