Blanco City Commisioner recycles too - like... by the TON

Yesterday morning I met Paul Granberg, the Blanco City commisioner, who heard I was starting up Wandering River Recycling. Turns out Mr. Granberg is very passionate about recycling as well and runs the drop off and processing facility in Blanco. It's on a chunk of land on the south end of town and there is a state-of-the-art glass pulverizer on site. It will take all colors of glass and break it down into bits from about 3/8 of an inch to the size of a grain of sand. This material is proving to be very useful for building roads and bedding for pipes. So recycling glass is helping save money on materials to build and repair Blanco's infrastructure.
They also take paper and bail it up to send off to a processing facility that turns it into everything from newsprint to notepads. They also take aluminum cans and compact them down into 300 pound squares where they are reborn as cans for our favorite beverages.
I'll definitely be dropping off recycleables at the Blanco facility since its operation goes right back to the community.
I'm coming around for the first recycling pick up for Wimberley and Blanco on Saturday July 12th. If you'd like me to come pick yours up on the 12th and every other Saturday, just sign up at http://www.wanderingriverrecycling.com/ It's only $15 per month. See ya soon!
