"Recycle for Quinn" Event Goes Well

Well, after a solid week of rain leading up to the Event, the sun came out on Saturday and we had a beautiful day. I arrived about 8:15 to set up a table and chairs, plot the traffic flow and wait for the truck to arrive with pallets and gaylords (big boxes on pallets).

We had our first drop-off at 8:30, a half-hour before we were "open." A guy with a big TV, who said he wanted to get his day started.

The bulk of the traffic was between 11A and 2P. We had to send the truck back to the recycling yard packed to the gills at about 1P; they unloaded and returned, where we probably filled it to about half-capacity before the Event concluded at 3P.

In this first photo you can see the gaylords and pallets alongside the truck. The pallet jack is ready to move one of the gaylords, filled to the brim with monitors and TVs.



Here's the crew at work as folks came to drop stuff off:



All in all, a very good day, and everything went very smoothly. I'll have some totals in my next entry.
