Description

Recycling is the reusing of the same item over and over again. It saves on natural resources and gives all of us a feeling of great pleasure. We have been recycling for years, so this is not something we just thought of doing. What we recycle: Hangers - We recycle our hangers that are in good shape. We use 18" hangers for most all of our shirts, blouses and sport coats. The clothes hang better at the shoulders, with the extra 2" of width. We do use some of the smaller hangers for the petite sizes. Plastic Dry Cleaning bags - We finally have found a supplier that actually recycles the plastic bags. The bags are sent back to the bag manufacturer, where they are re-melted and new bags are made. The plastic bags have to be staple and paper free or they will be rejected. Dry Cleaning Solvent - We recycle all of the dry cleaning solvent that we use. We are continuously distilling the solvent to remove the dirt that comes from the clothes and reusing it over and over again. Through the use of recycling our solvent, we use only 15 gallons a month. Some of the 15 gallons goes out with the dirt that we distilled out of the solvent. That solvent and dirt are taken away by a licensed waste hauler, which then, distills the waste at a higher temperature to recover more of the solvent then we are able to. That solvent is then used for making other products. Computer Paper - How many times have you printed a picture or a page, only to find out it wasn't quite right? Computer reports generate a lot of paper that is used on one side. We reuse the paper on the other side after the data is no longer useful. We reuse it for smaller reports or test runs before printing a final picture or page.
