BUSINESS RECYCLING

Thanks to Lester Wood of the Chamber of Commerce's business greening committee, several local businesses (including the Palisades-Malibu YMCA) are participating in a new free recycling program offered by Chrysalis Enterprises, a subsidiary of Chrysalis, which already cleans up the Palisades business district.

Chrysalis gives customers recycling bins for inside and outside their offices and picks up the recycled materials for free!

The following materials are picked up: glass, cardboard, CRV beverage containers, plastics, newspapers, mixed paper, bimetal (tin) and aluminum, and foam plastics. Selected electronic waste is also collected. Chrysalis employees sort the mixed trash, you don't need to. You can help employ the homeless clients of Chrysalis, save money, and help the environment at the same time.

For information on this program, contact Elizabeth Wilson, Director of Operations, Chrysalis Enterprises, at (213) 806-6356 or by e-mail: WilsonE@changelives.org. Some details of this program can be found on www.palisadescares.org. In addition, you can contact Marilyn at the Chamber of Commerce (459-7963) or Alex Polamero at the YMCA (454-5591) for their feedback about the program.
