Metal Recycling Day was a huge success.  Along with our friends at Pacific Steel & Recycling, we recycled over 4,000 lbs. of scrap steel, tin, aluminum & brass… yielding $250.00 that will be going directly to Idaho youth programs.  

Be on the look-out next Spring for our next Recycling Day event.

A few examples of items we recycled:

 Ÿ         Aluminum spa steps (that’s right spa steps)

Ÿ         Cast iron bathtub (in two ridiculously heavy pieces… see the picture  below of us struggling to put it into the container)

Ÿ         Washer and dryer

Ÿ         Refrigerator

Ÿ         Vintage all steel riding lawn mower

Ÿ         Multiple decades old push lawn mowers

Ÿ         Hundreds of Aluminum cans

Ÿ         Steel Pipe

Ÿ         Steel Bars

Ÿ         Patio Furniture

Ÿ         Miscellaneous farm equipment

Ÿ         Multiple barbeques

Ÿ         Chicken wire

Ÿ         Small paper shredder

Ÿ         Steel & Aluminum brackets

Special thanks to Seth & Morgan at Pacific for their knowledge, skill and partnership – to  Bill “Action” Jackson & Jackie Jackson for their vision and leadership – and to my wife Virgi for putting this entire event together start to finish.
