Trash Talk: Eco Maine's Eco Excellence Award

Peter Thoits
Each year, the Recycling Committee of ecomaine, formerly know as Regional Waste Systems (RWS), presents trophies called the Eco Excellence Awards to recognize individuals and groups whose efforts serve to promote recycling in their communities. Here's how it works: ecomaine distributes applications to all member communities. Then each community submits the names and details of one or more nominees who they believe have had positive impact on recycling efforts in their respective town or city. ecomaine then selects one winner from each member town or city to win the Eco Excellence Award. In addition, ecomaine presents a grand prize award to the best over all winner from all communities. This year all nominations must be received by ecomaine on or before February 1.

The Gray Solid Waste & Recycling Committee is looking for nominations for the 2008 Eco Excellence Award from Gray and we want to hear from you. Do you know people or groups who have had a positive impact on recycling in Gray? How about someone who's recycling efforts are particularly effective and easy to copy? Has a person or group really struck a chord with you and helped and encouraged you to start or increase recycling? Nominees can be individuals or groups. For instance, the top winner of last year's Eco Excellence Award was the Portland High School Recycling Club. What we need to know is who the person or group is and a brief description of what they did that had a positive impact on recycling. We would also like your contact information in case we need additional details.

We may be the Gray Solid Waste & Recycling Committee, but you, the town of Gray, are our eyes and ears. Our ideas and voices. You are the people who stand up and do it! Did you know that you, the town of Gray, recycled over 54 percent of all the trash you brought to the dump last year? You are marvelous and getting better each year! Please send us ideas for nominees! You can reach us at petethoits@maine.rr.com or snail mail to: Peter Thoits, 282 Shaker Road, Gray, ME 04039.
