Many of the custodians in
the Jacksonville P&DC have become involved and enthusiastic with the
recycling process.
They have placed recycling
containers at the elevators, in the break-room and on the workroom floor for
cans and plastic bottles.
The custodians have asked
Administrative Staff and Work-room floor employees to please hold their cans
and plastic bottles out of the regular trash and to take them to the nearest
appropriate recycling container.
Once the cans and bottles
are collected they are both are removed by the custodians. The cans go into one
of the two dumpsters for metal, that are on site. The plastic bottles go along
with the paper, cardboard, undeliverable mail and shrink wrap to Dock 1. They
are loaded onto a Southland Recycling trailer which gets pulled 1-2 times
daily.
"Our recycling
program has been in place for many years. It includes a very successful
backhauling operation for North Florida and South Georgia," said Patti
Mills, Manager Maintenance Engineering Support. "We continue to look for
recycling opportunities that we may have missed and really appreciate the
enthusiasm of other employees who come to us with their ideas."
