We’ve just implemented a new company-wide cardboard and paper recycling program for our office and production facility! All “gently-used” cardboard boxes are being up-cycled and used to ship orders to our customers. Any cardboard that has been more than gently-used will be recycled. In addition to cardboard, we will also be recycling office and magazine paper. Our goal is to reduce our trash-dumpster pick up schedule to once per month!
Besides saving trees that are used to make the cardboard and paper – our recycling program is also helping local animals in need! All items that are recycled at Fireside are “donated” in the name of CARES – a local non-profit organization helping families care for their pets when they can no longer afford to do. For every ton of cardboard and paper that we recycle, a donation will be made to CARES!
Post your pictures and ideas of ways to up-cycle our Fireside Coffee containers! A festive Christmas ornament? Spare coin holder?
