Earth Day 2009 at Waste Watchers featured several "exhibitors" who recycled items into art and other useable creations. First table was rocks into jewelry, (2) was fabric into welder (pipe fitter)caps, (3) was recycling tires into a house foundation and going utility-less, (4) was Waste Watcher table with crushed glass samples (fine crushings used in concrete and asphalt, coarse crushing used in decorative mulch, etc. (5) pop bottle caps and misc metal into decorative flowers, motorcycle toys, etc. (6)not shown was recycle cooking oil into clean diesel, (7) cardboard recycling bins (9) recycle flourescent tubes, light bulbs, and YES the new energy efficient bulbs and batteries of all types. Waste Watchers is now a collection center for flourescent bulbs!!! YEAH!! 6-9 are not shown in the picture. Of course the normal bins for #1 & 2 plastic, paper and paperboard, cardboard, metal cans, aluminum cans and glass were also present. Glass can not be recycled for the time being, as a belt has broken at the processing center in Lebanon.
The diesel recycle gentlemen (located near Linn Creek)fired up his 1 ton pick up and it smell like a hamburger joint, rather than the obnoxious diesel aroma!! It doesn't leave the odor on your hands when you fill the tank, either!! Hint Hint, Shelby!! I think he said he is selling it at $1.80/gallon.
