Recycling hero makes a difference

Editor,

Paperman’s Recycling owner, Richard Hodges, is a local unsung hero for his promotion of recycling.

I have been recycling for years, but Richard’s efforts combined with citizens that currently recycle kept seven semi-trailers full of recyclable material out of the land fill last year thus prolonging the life of the landfill in Saratoga.

If you could take a minute to envision walking through a semi-trailer and the amount of recyclables fitting into just one semi-trailer then multiply that by seven, you can then see the power of this accomplishment.

Richard Hodges certainly will not be buying a huge new home with the profits from his business, but he has championed a cause that we should all get behind and join.

He has shed light with his weekly tidbits in the Saratoga Sun. He has made it easier for those who do not recycle to become involved in improving the environment in our part of the world.

Respectfully

Lynda Healey
