More than ten tons of wood and more than a ton of old corrugated containers (OCC) were recycled as a result of a pilot project coordinated with a Madison, Wis., Parade of Homes event.
The Madison Area Builders Association (MABA), WasteCap Wisconsin and several other organizations worked together to coordinate the project, according to an item in the Associated Recyclers of Wisconsin (AROW) newsletter.
The pilot project took place at the Middleton Hills subdivision, a community that has been dubbed “new urbanist” in its style because of its front porches, walking trails and central business district.
The recycling program developed by WasteCap was sponsored by the American Plastics Council/American Chemistry Council, Kohler Co., Miller Brewing Co. and VerHalen Pella Windows.
A series of labeled bins allowed for the collection of ten tons of wood and 2,700 pounds of OCC at the Middleton Hills building sites.
