Greetings!
Here is your January newsletter. In it you will find updates to some of our programs, as well as paper prices.
In early February we are going to be calling service providers and recyclers alike to discuss our guidebook. Bryan LGH has taken it upon themselves to print it this year... in color! We are very excited for this change. We hope you will help us reach our goal number of sold ads. This will in turn help us continue to provide news, programs, and resources to the Nebraska recycling community.
We also wanted to remind all our members out there to send in their yearly volumes. In your 2010 member packet, you received a volume reporting form. Please fill it out and return it by Friday, February 11th. The form can be found for download at http://www.wastecapne.org/wp-content/uploads/Member-volume-report-form.pdf, or we can e-mail it to you. Contact Takeitback@wastecapne.org for questions.
