Dear Friends,
The holiday season is always our busiest at El Sobrante, as it is at landfills around the country. Americans throw away 25 percent more trash between Thanksgiving and the New Year than during the rest of the year.
Last Friday, the LA Times reported again on growth here in Riverside County; in 2005 alone, the county population grew by 3.4 percent. Fortunately, job growth, at 4.8 percent more than kept pace. More residents, and more workers, too – this is yet another reminder of why it is so important that we reduce, reuse, and recycle in order to keep Riverside County clean and spacious.
As always, we urge you to toss responsibly: Recycle as much as possible and think about using as many reusable goods as you can. Check out our article this month about how to celebrate the holidays environmentally!
All of us here at El Sobrante Landfill wish you and your loved ones a healthy and happy holiday season, and a wonderful 2007.
Best wishes,
Damon De Frates
District Manager
