Thank You
At Valley Recycling we are striving to recycle the most
materials
possible. We have
recycle drop bins at ten
locations around the valley, from Coram to Lakeside and Creston to
Kila. Our
customers are our business and serving them is our first
priority.
Congratulations Flathead Valley!
Valley Recycling has worked for the last 19 years trying to make the hard
working employees at the Flathead County Solid Waste Facility jobs easer by
diverting as much material as possible.
In the last 4 years alone we have diverted close to 15,000 tons of
recycled material.
In 2005, Valley Recycling with the help of Evergreen Disposal and the
Flathead Valley reduced the amount of refuse going into the
Flathead County Solid Waste Facility (County Landfill) by a total of 5.8 million pounds
of recycled goods. In 2006 that number increased to 7.5 Million pounds of
material. In 2007 we are up again. 8.1 million total pounds of material. In 2008
we climbed to 8.7 million pounds of material
That would be enough material to fill a football field from end zone to
end zone, side line to side line, over the top of goal posts and then some with
loose material.
Our bailer runs 5 days a week, 11 hours per day, compressing cardboard,
paper, and plastics into compact shipping units. Valley Recycling with the help
of Evergreen Disposal and the people of the Flathead Valley helped exceed the Projections every
year from 2005 through 2008.
From the staff at Valley Recycling and Evergreen Disposal we thank you.
We are always researching new materials that can be recycled so that we can
further decrease the volume of waste being deposited in the County Landfill. If we all do our part, we can
minimize our impact on the Flathead Valley. We need to keep as much material
out of the landfill as possible. In the
future it will be very difficult to
purchase land to build a new landfill. We will have to ship our garbage to
another landfill a long ways away. This will cost us double. 1. It will
cost us to pay to haul the trash and 2.
It will cost us to empty the truck in a
new landfill. So let’s do what we can now by recycling as much as possible. We
are going as green as we can are you?
