<b>Weyerhaueser Recycling Plant Wins Award</b>

Weyerhaeuser Company today announced that its Beaverton, Ore., recycling plant has received recognition for an outstanding safety record.

The company's highest safety honor -- the ``Safety Excellence Award'' -- was accorded the Beaverton facility for reaching a five-year mark with no lost-time accidents.

``The Beaverton plant has worked one million hours without a lost-time accident and is the first of Weyerhaeuser's recycling facilities to reach this significant milestone,'' said Mark Starnes, vice president-Recycling. ``And, for the second consecutive year, Beaverton has been named a SHARP recipient by the State of Oregon's Occupational Safety and Health Division.''

The Beaverton facility, which includes a 65,000 square-foot warehouse, employs about 80 people and operates 24 hours a day, five days a week. The operation collects and sorts more than 90,000 tons of paper per year, including business papers, corrugated shipping containers, newsprint and office paper for manufacture of recycled paper products.
