Zero Landfill Event

by wrightch
Zero Landfill Event an Eco-Success! – Global Green Integrators (GGI), a division of AZ Docushred, LLC, Wright Choice Promotions and Gold Canyon Bank joined forces to bring the Glendale Chamber of Commerce it’s first Zero Landfill Event. On March 19th the Chamber’s monthly mixer went Green! Chamber members mixed and mingled while eating food off of plates made from sugar cane, using bamboo sporks, drinking from corn plastic cups and cleaned up with recycled paper napkins.
At the end of the evening we managed to divert more than 98% of the trash from the landfill! We composted the contents of a 32 gallon bag at local composting facility, we recycled plastic, glass and aluminum bottles, and some pigs at a rescue center out in Buckeye ate well on the leftovers and food scraps! We did have 4 items of trash that we were not able to recycle – one serving tray (too dirty to recycle) and 3 empty potato chip bags (brought in by guests).
For more information or to find out how your group or organization can have a zero landfill event please contact Julia Wright of Wright Choice Promotions at 602-795-7300.
