I am the owner of a green recycling business that would like to work with colleges and universities to help them recycle their mattresses and box springs. Our company offers green tax credits to our customers as well as give a portion of our profits to a local charity that is chosen by our customer, We love to donate back to the community

Nationwide “Go Green” initiatives are sprouting up and it is good timing. We are United Emission Solutions, Inc located in Winston Salem, NC. Did you know that one gas riding lawn mower emits more pollutants than eight new cars driving 55mph runnning for the same amount of time? Our product removes 100% of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides from a variety of grounds-keeping and distribution center vehicles. We are partnering with local colleges and hospitals committed to doing their part by improving the air quality. Feel free to contact me for more information and I look forward to making a difference in the quality of air with our retro fit catalytic converters.
