Toyota Motors Manufacturing partnered with Scott County Fiscal Court and Georgetown city to host its community recycling event, which it does every two years. Toyota Motors Manufacturing is a zero-landfill facility and gladly puts on SupeRecycling Day to increase awareness about household hazardous and electronic wastes, and to offer an alternative to common, less environmentally-friendly disposal methods. Other vendors involved were 2trg and Green Metals Inc., who helped to make the event free of charge to certain participants.
Throughout the two days of the event, items collected included old televisions, computers, cell phones and ink cartridges, in addition to common household hazardous waste such as paint and all-purpose cleaners. Nearly 300 tons of similar waste products have been collected and recycled since the program started in 1994.
Wil James, Toyota Motors Manufacturing President, told media, “Providing this free service is a way for Toyota to show its appreciation to the community. We all have to do our part. And when we do, we make a difference well beyond our own backyard.”
