BRECHBUHLER SCALES PROVIDES PARADISE LAWN COMPANY
WITH B-TEK CENTURION DIGITAL SCALE
Paradise Lawn Care, in Wooster, Ohio has worked with the Stark-
Tuscarawas-Wayne Joint Solid Waste District to accept lawn waste and
turn it into useable materials for the area residents. The goal is to tap into
the food waste that is thrown into land fills and combine that with the yard
and animal waste that they currently accept, for free. Grant money from
the District provided funding for the
B-TEK Centurion digital scale from Brechbuhler
Scales, Inc in Canton, Ohio. Paradise Lawn has taken the proactive
approach in contacting area grocery stores and area colleges to accept
their food waste. The sheer weight of food waste is a big incentive to recycle
it says Bart Morr, president of the lawn care and compost business.
Right now only 3% of food waste is being
diverted from the landfills. We are
trying to improve on that.
The government has been a large advocate to recycle food waste with animal
and lawn waste. The green movement seems to always have support,
no matter how the economy seems to fluctuate. The Joint Solid Waste Districts
partnership with Paradise Lawn care saves them the costs associated
with setting up their own facility or
landfill, which would be considerably
more expensive states Mike Sigg, of
the Stark-Tuscarawas-Wayne Joint
Solid Waste District. |
