Santee's Commercial Recycling Champions
Monday, April 27, 2015
The city and Waste Management Inc. honored GTM Discount
General Stores and Meadowbrook Mobile Home Estates with the inaugural
Commercial Recycling Champions Award at the April 22 City Council meeting.
The award acknowledges one commercial customer and one
multi-family community for exemplary efforts in implementing recycling services
at each of their properties.
GTM Discount General Stores was honored for recycling more
than 50 percent of its monthly 40 cubic yards of waste and for not allowing
non-recyclable materials to get into its recycling dumpsters.
Meadowbrook Mobile Home Estates, which has 338 units,
recycles more than 1,700 pounds of recyclable materials annually. They also
encourage residents to recycle by publicizing their goal to increase recycling
and by educating residents with clear instructions on which materials are
recyclable.
