Embarrassed by My State
1 Reply

I always used to do this, and I still do.  I bet you do the same thing.  I look at license plates and rank the states.  Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Florida - uncool.  Iowa,…Continue

Well, even though you posted this in April and it's now September, I'm new here and wanted to reply. I completely agree with you. It is a travesty what the legislature has done to social services for the most vulnerable among us (disabled,…

FIBER MARKETS AT OR NEAR ALL TIME HIGHS

July fiber markets in New England and across most of the country are at five year highs.  Mixed Paper is at an all-time record; baled Mixed Paper in truckload volumes is at $110-$120 per ton!  Another grade close to its all time high is Sorted Office Paper – now selling for $270-$280 per ton.  It was just two and a half years ago that Mixed Paper was valued at $0 (or less), and Sorted Office was selling for $90/ton.  Unlike some previous high markets, this doesn’t look like a spike.  Prices…See More

Embarrassed by My State

I always used to do this, and I still do.  I bet you do the same thing.  I look at license plates and rank the states.  Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Florida - uncool.  Iowa, Arkansas, Kansas, South Dakota – where are they?  Colorado, Montana, Washington, New Hampshire – cool.I have always been proud and happy to be from New Hampshire. Even among the cool states New Hampshire has been one of the coolest, a great state to come from. A proud license plate on my car.But that…See More

E-Waste “Recycling” in the News

One place you don’t want your used electronics to wind up is in the media. We get asked all the time why we charge money to recycle computers and monitors and TVs, cell phones, Blackberries and other used electronics.  The reason we get asked this question is that there are a lot of “recyclers” out there who will take this stuff away for free, or even pay to take it off your hands.  Why, we are asked, does IRN charge to recycle electronics when other companies will do it for free.There’s a…See More

Mark, Thank you for your article. Now I'm thinking. How and why do the locusts stay in business even for a year or two? Where is their income?

(could be a duplicate) Mark, Where do these guys get their profit even for a year or two? What do they do with the stuff?

Mark, I'm in the moving business. Suppose I offer my clients a way to get rid of their electronic waste. What's the actual physical pathway that's involved? What happens next? Thanks,

Recycling and Reuse: Worth the effort? Worth the effort.

This is a story for everyone who says that recycling and reuse cost too much and aren’t worth the effort, and for everyone who has to deal with those folks.Newton is a suburban city, population about 85,000, less than ten miles from downtown Boston. When the City opened a new high school in August 2010, it reused and…See More

Saying Thanks to Columbia

It’s an understatement to say that Columbia University was transformative for my Dad. He was a poor kid from a Depression-beaten family in the Irish ghetto of Dobbs Ferry. In 1939 Columbia gave him a $600 scholarship and a part-time job and said “Make it if you can.” Four years later he was an honors History graduate, managing the campus laundry service, and voted Most Likely to Succeed by his classmates. He never forgot the doors that Columbia opened for him, nor the personal potential that…See More

The Problem With the Problem With Recycling

The Problem With the Problem With Recycling Boston.com recently published a couple of anti-recycling columns by Jeff Jacoby. I can’t bring myself to write down the link. If you want you can find them easily enough. They’re standard diatribe. Recycling is a pain in the neck. Recycling costs more than throwing stuff away. Backed by standard sources for persons with Mr. Jacoby’s point of view: The Heartland Institute (Wikipedia: “The Heartland Institute questions the scientific consensus on…See More

Of Locusts and Electronics

As recyclers we have been dealing with electronics for a long time now. Some of you may remember Digital’s electronics recycling facility here in Contoocook, NH, which is where we cut our teeth, Dana working with the Northeast Resource Recovery Association, ML with the State of NH. The name “Digital” all by itself tells you how long we’ve been at this.It still amazes us, after all these years, that some folks, some of our buddies, some really good recyclers, still think there’s some sort of…See More
