I would love to start a powerful and innovative recycling campaign. The school is divided in 4 so there are 4 lunch time in the cafeteria. There are barrels where students put "everything" together. In each floor there are trash barrels too, but none of them is for recycling. I was planning to have flyers with pictures about recycling and where the trash goes, and get big recycling bins for each floor, Then a group of students could take out to the street the recycling barrel once a week. Could you please give some ideas of how to "engage" students , teachers, staff and custodians to this "wonderful" and necessary campaign? I would appreciate it very much Thanks Andrea Hello Trey,

Those parts are worth more than triple what the local recycler would offer me for them, so how can we, the citizen consumer out here, get a fair price for our products that we have used and now want to part with? Window glass, aluminum, tires, gas tanks etc we paid thousands of dollars for these things and I for one would like to have a place that would take the parts and pay me for them. Think of all the people who would do this also , kind of like the bottle return for soda pop and beer and wine bottles. Just think of the little business people that would create. We already have people who are out there collecting these bottles and cans from every nook and cranny because they know they can get cash for them at the local food stores. The auto industry is another one that could start to do more than they are with the cash for parts return system . It would be worth a try to see just what that would do to clean up the waste from the auto industry in a fashion that would not charge the consumer more but pay them to return the metals and parts for further use or crushing. All we have here is a local guy who will give you $200 per auto. My gas tank cost $600 alone when I had it replaced. Any suggestions to add?

While we congratulate BFI on its willingness to purchase a glass crusher (Amarillo currently doesn't offer glass recycling), it would be nice to see refuse companies pushing cities they're contracted with to adopt more comprehensive recycling efforts. In a city with around 120,000+ people, we still must haul our recyclables to BFI's collection facility. And while we generate a substantial amount of rubbish, we're small compared to other businesses in town. To our knowledge, we are the only for-profit business that continuously hauls its own recyclables off-site.
