5/1/08 - Talking Trash

 

For those of you that did not get down and dirty with us at the Town’s First Annual Clean Up Day, you missed an extraordinary event.  The turnout was phenomenal.  The weather was fantastic and the free hot dogs, served up by Mayor Pro Tem Carla Anderson and Gal Pal Beth Miller, were mighty tasty!  An unbelievable ninety-nine Bartonville households participated.  From those households we:

 

 ●  Recycled 11,000 lbs of metal – Fulton Supply and Recycling

 ●  Shredded 1,721 lbs of documents – Cintas Document Shredding

 ●  Recycled over 300 hundred old tires – Tex-American Recycling

 ●  Recycled forty-five automobile batteries – Interstate Batteries

 ●  Mulched a multitude of tree limbs and branches – Whitmire Line Clearance

 ●  Disposed of  17 Tons of just plain old trash, debris & junk – IESI Solid Waste Disposal

 ●  Collected 2,200 lbs of donated clothing – Goodwill Industries

 ●  Recycled 39 TVs/Computer Monitors & destroyed 20 computer hard drives – Computer Crusher Recycling Company

 ●  Properly disposed of massive amounts of hazardous waste products – Upper Trinity Regional Water District

 

Hats off to Town Hall’s Terri Neal for organizing what will definitely become an annual springtime event.  Terri’s energy, creative thinking, and organizational skills made it look like we had been doing this for years.  Kathy Bradham, one of our newer residents, worked like a farm hand and made the day loads of fun.  When is the last time you could say you had fun hauling trash?  Well we sure did!  Police Chief Howell directed traffic while son Daniel loaded old tires and batteries.  After taking a crash course in safety, Town Secretary, Kristi Gilbert, along with Jim Farrell, Betty Medlock, and Chris Egan took on the daunting task of hazardous waste disposal with great enthusiasm.  Mary Turner is building her home in Bartonville and even she jumped right in to help out her soon to be hometown.  We need to recruit more residents like Mary!  An impressive fifty-two households rid themselves of old oil, pesticides, anti-freeze, and other nasty chemicals.  The folks at UTRWD said that it was more like what would be produced by 250 households.  Even they were amazed and this is what they do for a living!  BWSC and the Bartonville Food Store graciously allowed us to use their parking lots for the spillover (no pun intended).  A special thank you goes to Fulton Supply and Recycling’s Virgil Forrester and Daniel Lopez from Goodwill Industries.  They just joined right in and worked alongside everyone else!

 

We are planning on getting even more trashy next spring!  So mark your calendars for Saturday, April 18, 2009.
