Woodard & Curran, a Portland-based consulting, engineering and
operations firm, has won the eco-Excellence Award for recycling from
Ecomaine, formerly known as Regional Waste Systems. Ecomaine's recycling
committee reviewed award entries from 12 communities before selecting
Woodard & Curran as the overall winner.
In
addition to paper, plastic, glass, cardboard and metal separation, Woodard
& Curran recycles batteries and CDs, composts its coffee grinds, and
is in the process of creating purchasing guidelines to reduce waste at its
source. Used office supplies are donated to schools through Ruth's
Renewable Resources in Scarborough and obsolete computer components are
given away through freecycle.org.
