Our eldest daughter has been kept busy lately by one of her jobs--- her recycling job. Over the years she has recycled almost 30,000 containers with the help of family, friends and neighbours. A new job maintaining a local strip mall has also added to this bounty, making those $100.00 cheques come a little faster than they used to do. The mall maintenance has been an eye-opening one for her with cigarette smokers leading the ranks of the worst offenders for littering followed closely by folks not willing to recycle or even throw away their alcoholic cans and bottles and just leaving them wherever. I find it sad to see that so many students from the nearby high school can't be bothered to throw their pizza boxes away. I remember being in Europe many years ago and being horrified by the litter there. It seems like we are headed in the same direction. This is me being a grumpy old lady.
Anyway the new Return-it Express service through Encorp Pacific makes it so much easier to simply bag, label and scan those clear garbage bags full of returns and have your account automatically credited. No sorting required! Our daughter enjoys being busy, likes to make money and is encouraged by all the folks who make sure that she gets their empties either by bringing them to us or asking us for a pick-up. People like you. So thank you for those bags and bags of recyclable containers. Every can, bottle, jug and tetra pack is another ten cents in our daughter's pocket and for that, she is thrilled! Thanks!
