Community Recycling Days Draw Big Crowds and Tons of Stuff
NORTHAMPTON, MA | ACCESSWIRE | September 27, 2022 | Community recycling days over the summer at two of Cummins Inc.''s larger U.S. plants collectively emptied more than 2,000 vehicles of an estimated 140 tons of electronics, batteries, tires, used paint, old lightbulbs and more. The separate events at Cummins'' Jamestown Engine Plant (JEP) in Jamestown, New York, and the company''s Columbus Engine Plant (CEP) in Columbus, Indiana, also attracted plenty of people, some waiting as long as three hours for their chance to safely rid themselves of material they had been holding onto, sometimes for years. "It was really good to be able to have the Community Recycling Day at CEP once again," said CEP Plant Manager Kyle Lewandowski. "It has been a couple of years since this event was held due to COVID. It gives people within the community an outlet to dispose of things they have around the house that are typically difficult to get rid of safely." The Jamestown event was held June 18, while the Columbus recycling day took place Sept. 15.
