Paper Recycler Keeps Food Bank Stocked

The Grossman Group (TGG) has announced plans to support the Mid-Ohio FoodBank as a way of giving back to the community and helping those in need during the 2007 holiday season. TGG is a Columbus, Ohio, paper and plastic recycling company.

The Mid-Ohio FoodBank provides food to more than 550 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other charities. TGG’s plans for supporting the Mid-Ohio FoodBank include:

• As a part of its regular business, TGG already recycles cardboard generated from the Mid-Ohio FoodBank. But during this holiday season, TGG will make a special donation to the Mid-Ohio FoodBank for every ton of cardboard or other recyclable materials it receives from the FoodBank.

• Some of TGG’s other recycling clients (who wish to remain anonymous) have asked that a portion of their revenue generated from recycling their paper, plastic and cardboard be donated to the Mid-Ohio FoodBank. TGG will make an additional contribution to the Mid-Ohio FoodBank for every ton of paper, plastic or cardboard brought to them or picked up in large quantities when told this material is for the benefit of our environment and the Mid-Ohio FoodBank.

• TGG is making it possible for everyone, not just companies, to be involved and help support the Mid-Ohio FoodBank with what it calls “an old-fashioned scrap drive.” The company is inviting individuals to bring their post-holiday cardboard and wrapping paper to the TGG recycling center with the proceeds to be donated to the Mid-Ohio FoodBank.

“This is a win-win for everyone,” says Jerry Corbin, senior account executive for TGG. “It is a wonderful opportunity to help our environment, the City of Columbus and the Solid Waste Authority by keeping material out of the landfills, but most importantly to help support the Mid-Ohio FoodBank,”

TGG will continue receiving and making donations until January 31, 2008.
