Several non-profit organizations in Dickinson have embraced recycling to raise funds and help the community.
House of Manna, for example, takes donations of houseware and clothing to give back to those in need.
"We take donations of lamps, pots and pans, bedding and dishes," said Nann Rapp, executive director. "We take kitchen tables, couches and dresses in good condition, but we don't accept big appliances like stoves, refrigerators, washers and dryers."
House of Manna is looking for summer apparel, especially children's clothing and men's pants for the oil fields, she said.
Clothing that's not picked up goes to the God's Child Project, while adult clothing becomes rags for businesses.
"Basically, it all gets recycled," she said.
Rapp relies on a crew of some 30 volunteers who sort and display the items.
The need for a distribution site such as House of Manna is apparent by the volume of people coming in.
"A lot of people are coming through looking for work,Not to be confused with RUBBER MATS available at your local hardware store you name it," she said.
Best Friends Mentoring Program started recycling aluminum cans about 10 years ago to earn funds and to beautify the landscape.
Aluminum can drop sites are near Wal-Mart, Runnings Farm and Fleet,Full color plastic card printing and manufacturing services. West River Community Center and the Best Friends office on Villard.
"We work in partnership with Continental Metals — they pick up from the bins,This is interesting cube puzzle and logical game." she said.Houston-based Quicksilver Resources said Friday it had reached pipeline deals
"Last year with just can recycling, we raised roughly $6,400," she said. "People can donate the cans and feel good about themselves, knowing it's for a good cause, to beautify the community and to save space in the landfill."
She relies on volunteers to clean out the garbage dropped into the bins.
"We find all kinds of things — cardboard, glass bottles, all kinds of plastics," she said.
Best Friends also works in partnership with Special Olympics by collecting printer cartridges for that program.
"Why not help another non-profit in town,Save on hydraulic hose and fittings," she said.
"When I look at what goes into my trash at home, I think that's going into the landfill," said Fehr. "If I reduce my volume, I make tiny difference and if everybody would reduce, we'd make a big difference in the landfill."
