E-Cycling Event a Success
The Friendly Momentive site partnered with the Pleasants County Solid Waste Authority (SWA), WV Department of Environmental Protection, and Scott Recycling of Knoxville, Tennessee to hold an electronics recycling event at the site, on Saturday June 18, 2022. The SWA was awarded a grant from WVDEP to fund the collection event.
The weather was perfect, and the public responded well to the team’s publicity. The team provided the parking lot site and all logistical needs for the volunteers and Scott’s staff. The team recorded 159 surveys of vehicles that day, just short of last year’s record. Two 53-foot trailers were filled with TV’s, computers, and miscellaneous electronics for responsible recycling – from the public, the SWA’s Recycling Center, local schools, government offices, small businesses, Momentive employees, and from within the Momentive site.
Scott Recycling provided excellent service, staffing, logistics, transportation, and the recycling. This is the 14th e-cycling event hosted by the Friendly Plant since 2007.
