We are concerned about our environment; we recycle
organics, card board, cans, bottles and plastics #1 & #2
and use power created by wind and hydro
We are part of the organic recycling program with the City
of Plano, all organic waste like food left overs, is
collected in special containers, picked up daily and
turned into compost and we participate in the “Single
Stream Program”.
Organic
Recycling:
The Restaurant joined a host of local businesses ranging
from schools, corporate cafeterias and grocery stores in
participating in this unique recycling program in 2005.
The City collects the organic materials and transports
it to its compost site in Melissa, Texas. There the
organic matter is mixed with yard trimmings from
residential and landscape collections and made into
Texas Pure (formerly Plano Pure) Compost. This quality
soil amendment has been certified by the U.S. Composting
Council. Participants in this recycling program can
take satisfaction in knowing that they are a part of a
recycling program which represents the ideal--closing
the loop. This means their participation has gone full
circle with the ability to continuously replicate reuse
of materials. Currently we are recycling about 7 to 10
full size trashcans full of organic articles per week.
Single Stream Recycling Program
allows us to
collect card board, cans, bottles and plastic #1 and # 2
in one container to be recycled by the Waste Management
Company. |
