MEVO Distributing Free Recycling Bins To Businesses

Contact MEVO for more information about recycling bins

Dear Editor,

Hi, my name is Jordan Swenson and I work with the Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization.

We are currently working on a project trying to distribute bins we are receiving from a company, Hydrosorbent Dehumidifiers, up in Massachusetts. This company acquires about 35 bins a week, and we have been collecting and storing them. Our main goal is to stop these bins from being thrown in the garbage, and we felt a good way to do that is convert them into recycling bins and distribute them to local businesses, schools, municipal buildings, and residents.

[The bins] are made of heavy duty cardboard and have a metal rim that locks on a lid.
