RJ holds chamber luncheon

Our old pal and former president Travis Fojtasek, along with the newly-reformed Recycling Task Force, gave a lunch talk about the benefits of recycling to Greater Jackson Chamber of Commerce members.

Fojtasek told the group about the history of recycling in Jackson County, something he has worked hard to maintain:

Within Jackson County it has been demonstrated that private enterprise and local authorities can work together on recycling. The county government has not shown support due to the existence of the county incinerator. However, Recycling Jackson went to the Villages and Townships of our county and now Emmons, Modern Waste Disposal and Northwest Refuse pick up from 21 recycling centers free-of-charge.

He also gave tips on how to start a recycling program at local businesses, followed by a question-and-answer session for everyone who attended.
