The Leland Lofts condo association pays Detroit-based Recy-clean a small fee to come pick up recycling as often as twice a week. It's a move that makes recycling easier and more popular with residents, not to mention saving them significant time and money. The end result is that Recy-clean's service has doubled the amount of recycling coming from Leland Lofts residents and halved the number of trash pickups at the building. A number of other residential, commercial and educational buildings throughout the city are also following suit. The growing list includes, Grinnell Place Lofts, Canfield Lofts, MOCAD, Music Hall, Detroit Academy of Arts & Sciences, Nichols Elementary & Middle Schools and the Wayne County Community College District bookstores, among others helping the city's fledgling recycling initiative while saving money. "The argument for doing it is really two fold," says Joel Landy, a 30-year Cass Corridor resident and developer of the Addison Apartments, Leland Lofts and 66 & 74 Charlotte Loft Apartments. "One is it lowers the Dumpster fee and two to know you’re doing something good for the environment." http://modeldmedia.com/feature s/apt12407.aspx | ||
