As the coronavirus increases throughout the nation and much of the world, the media continues to spend a large amount of the time trying to keep you updated. Even with that being the case, I’m hoping you don’t mind me adding a little to it by reporting some of things happening in the recycling area concerning it.
An article in a Resource Recycling newsletter explained, “Even as recycling companies adapt to keep their employees and businesses healthy, some are donating supplies to ensure healthcare workers are protected, as well.”
For example, a construction and demolition debris recycling company received dozens of sealed boxes a few months ago and just set them aside. Recently, when their staff opened them, they discovered 36,000 new N95 respirator masks. To help in the fight against the virus, the company donated the masks to hospitals and nursing homes in the Washington, D.C. area.
