Our Recycling Center took home the gold!

Proclamation honoring the Division of Solid Waste Services' Gold Excellence AwardOur Recycling Center received the Solid Waste Association of North America Waste Reduction, Recycling and Composting Division’s Recycling Systems’ 2007 Gold Excellence Award!

This morning, the Montgomery County Council presented us with proclamations to recognize this award.

The Recycling Center's recent accomplishments include:

  • accruing approximately $3.4 million in revenue from commingled [cans, bottles, and jars] materials -- that's nearly $185,000 more than the facility’s operating expenses
  • providing recycling education and offered facility tours to 4,576 visitors.

Montgomery County Councilmember Marilyn Praisner presenting the proclamations to Dan Locke, Division of Solid Waste Services Division Chief, and Jim Harkins, Director of the Maryland Environmental Service.
