Recycling Worth the Effort, Money

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Staff Report | Suffolk News-Herald

Published April 21, 2010

It has been interesting to watch over the past few weeks as the number of area homeowners and residents signing up for the voluntary recycle program has inched up ever higher.

What was once just 200 or so sign-ups has crept up to more than 2,000 and what was once a whispered about dream of some — that a recycle program would ever come back to Suffolk — is increasingly becoming a reality.

Although city officials and representatives with TFC Recycling set forth a lofty goal of 3,000 homes signed up by Earth Day (today), it is still remarkable to many that this program has come as far as it has.

In Suffolk, every home still receives weekly free trash pickup. TFC Recycling’s goal included signing up 3,000 residences that would pay $12 per month every other week for curbside recycling pickup. It is a credit to city leaders for agreeing to restart the program and to the efforts of TFC Recycling for educating the benefits of such a program.

Published April 21, 2010

A recycling company is looking for a few people willing to commit to paying $12 a month for recycling service in Suffolk.

TFC Recycling has almost reached its Earth Day goal of getting 3,000 households to sign up for “Big Bin” recycling.

The Chesapeake-based company will provide participants with a recycling container, similar to the trash containers the city provides.

Participants will be able to dump a wide variety of materials into the cans from cardboard and mixed paper to plastic and glass bottles. The materials will be picked up twice a month on trash day, according to a representative with the company.

A Few More Days

Published April 17, 2010

Curbside recycling has almost returned to the city of Suffolk, but a local company is looking for a few more people to commit to paying $12 a month for curbside service.

TFC Recycling has almost reached its Earth Day deadline — April 22 — to get 3,000 households to sign up for recycling.

For a $12 fee each month, the Chesapeake-based company will provide participants with a recycling container similar to the trash containers the city provides most homes. Participants can dump a wide variety of materials into the cans, which then would be picked up twice a month on trash day.

The Suffolk Kick Off

This January, the city of Suffolk kicked off their three-month recycling campaign with us here at TFC. Meant to educate and encourage Suffolk’s residents to take part in their first subscription based curbside recycling program, the city needs 3,000 households to sign up in order to get the contract under way and the pick-up in motion.

Residents who register for the program, which is only $12 a month, will receive a 95 gallon recycling container, much like the trash containers the city provides, in which they can dump cardboard boxes, paper products, glass, steel, tin cans, aluminum cans, and No. 1 or No. 2 plastic bottles (you can find that number usually on the bottom or sides of a bottle), and will see collection every other week on trash day.

So far, we have 1,831 Suffolk residents signed up with only a week left! Together with Suffolk city officials, we have set an appropriate deadline of April 22^nd – Earth Day – and are sending out volunteers out into the community to help reach this goal. We need your support now.

Our own LeAnn Benedetto told the Suffolk News-Herald last week, “Now, it’s more of going out to get the people who may not be as passionate about recycling, but learn about the program and say, ‘Yeah, I do want to do that.’ It’s more of a personal, one-on-one push.”

If you’re interested in being a part and taking care of the city of Suffolk, there are plenty of ways to get more information or to sign up. You can register online at the TFC Suffolk Page or call 543-5766. If you’re already registered, help ensure that you’ll get the recycling service you want by spreading the word to your friends and neighbors!

Recycling Good for Community

Monday, March 1st, 2010

By Tracy Agnew | Suffolk News-Herald

Published Monday, March 1, 2010

Now, I’ll admit I’ve never been a crunchy, tree-hugger, Sierra Club environmentalist type. Everybody has their social cause they support more than any of the others, and mine has never really been protecting the environment, though I believe it’s important.

Therefore, although I was brought up recycling, I never knew too much about how it worked before I started doing a series of stories for the paper about TFC Recycling, which is trying to recruit 3,000 Suffolk households to pay $12 per month for curbside recycling. Of course, I knew it goes in an old aluminum can and comes out a brand new can, but I didn’t know, for example, that a used soda container can be back on the shelf as a new can in as few as 60 days after being taken the recycling center. That’s pretty cool, if you ask me.

They Signed Up for ‘Convenience Factor’

Matt Brooks places some recycling items in his bin

Katey Brooks grew up as a recycler.

“My parents always recycled,” she said. Her mother is a soil conservationist, and her father is a landscape artist, so both stressed environmental conservation to their children.

Her husband, Matt Brooks, likewise grew up taking aluminum cans to the recycling center for the 5-cent refund in his native New York.

Now that the two live in Suffolk and have a large dog and a 10-month-old son, they have plenty of dog food cans and baby food jars to recycle. The two Burnett’s Mill residents have been collecting their recyclables in an empty cat litter bucket in the pantry, and hauling them to the collection bins near Freedom Plaza when the bucket gets full.
