Recycle Revolution
1703 Chestnut St. Dallas TX 75226
Second stop on our site visit was Recycle Revolution.
This down to earth recycle plant was started by founder, Mr. Eddie Lott. Recycle Revolution (RR) is located near downtown Dallas Texas and provides recycling of items most recyclers will not even touch.
Items such as bukly electronics, Styrofoam and glass are some of the items that this company is determined to get people to start recycling. They recycles items sometimes even at a cost to them, not for the profits obviously, but because they actually care about how these items are disposed of.
Recycle Revolution accepts paper, plastic, aluminum, cardboard, glass, electronics and small appliances. Recycle Revolution tries to match up recycled items with people or manufactures that can use them locally to cut on transportation cost of shipping them out to china like most other recycle plants would. By keeping and reusing locally, they are reducing harmfull effects even more.
RR has matched up with a client who will use the melted down Styrofoam mixed with other components to create a light-weight bricks which can be used to make Dome shaped homes and keep the Styrofoam out of the landfills.
Eddie also told us about their other program:
Dallas Eco-Op , 10137 A Shoreview, Dallas, Tx 75238. This great co-op is a number of different vendors who get together to share cost by setting up in one location to showcase their innovation green products and eco-friendly services to the neighborhood. It offers local jobs and promotes a greener style of living by reminding people that a simple thing like recycling your trash can really make a difference.
It’s ideas like this that make Recycle revolution a true revolutionary in the recycle business.
