Hi fellow cyclists
Once again for the USGP 1-800 GOT JUNK? will be donating time to help make sure the event doesn't leave a wake of trash in our fair city. Last year i asked you all to bring your own liquid and food receptacles and many did. This year i will ask the same. The biggest impact you can make is by using what you all ready have, please still consume that which makes you happy just take the glass home and wash it. Last year was just a warm-up this year i would like to see 90% of all waste recycled.
To make that happen I have a second request this year. Eat all of your food. Last year i again tried to have a trash can with just food waste. I spent a lot of the races picking out everything that got thrown in the bin, trying to keep the food waste "pure" so i could also recycle it. The next day i spent two hours picking out pieces of plastic and gue packets in the back of the junk truck and still it was to "dirty" for true food waste. but I did find out something interesting, food waste just gets weighed out as recycled then dumped in landfill. That is the reason i will not be sorting out "food waste". sorry eco's but its not worth it if it all goes to the same place. If someone would be able to compost any amount we would love to sort out, just contact me.
so everything that goes in WASTE heads to the landfill and although it is great that many stands are using biodegradable flatware the item still goes to the landfill unless there is a private person composting it.(once in landfills they break down quicker and dont add to the toxic cocktail that a landfill is so they are good) Anyone up for 600lbs of food waste, please give me a call. for all the people still reading a 12pk of pbr is completely recyclable once the liquids have been removed
This year there will be just three cans.
1. recycling
NO FOOD WASTE NO LIQUIDS
2. glass bottles
NO LIQUID
3. waste
PLASTIC BAGS GO HERE AS DOES FOOD WASTE AND FRITTS WRAPPERS and gue and oatmeal containers and if the spoons are biodegradable they also go here
if it touched your mouth or food it goes here.
TRUCK WILL BE OPEN FOR CARDBOARD FRIDAY NIGHT.
and clean your plate
thanx
