By Jeremy CarrollWRN reporter

ST. CLOUD, FLA. – As president andchief environmental officer forMaryland-based Green EarthServices, Demetrius Robinsonhas been to his share of recyclingfacilities and MRFs.

But Monday was Robinson’sfirst trip to a landfill.

He was among the dozen at-tendees of the Corporate Recy-cling & Waste Conference to takethe free trip to J.E.D. Landfill inSt. Cloud, Fla. The facility isowned and operated by WasteServices Inc., a division of Pro-gressive Waste Solutions Ltd.

“I like to see the whole chainof events,” Robinson said aboutthe tour, “from the beginning toget the end. I can apply it inbusiness to speak about usageand buying habits all the way tothe landfill.”

At an average of 5,500 tons aday, the J.E.D. Landfill is Flori-da’s largest, said Fred HawkinsJr., who works in business de-velopment and marketing forthe facility.

“We try to be a good neighbor,”Hawkins said. “When they needus, we’re there for them.”

He said the county gets $2per ton of trash brought to thefacility and the local schools get12.5 cents per ton. The commu-nity closest to the landfill, with

f your travels here left you feeling “hunky” but not quite “dory,” “peachy” but not quite “keen,”well, we at Waste & Recycling News have the remedies to make you right. There’s plenty to do in and around the Gaylord Palms Resort during the Corporate Waste andRecycling Conference. You can dip your toes in inviting blue water, sip on a cool beverage andwatch sports on a 37-foot television screen. You might find something new at a famous attrac-tion, or just enjoy seeing some land and water wildlife.

So, here, in no particular order, are our top 10 things not to miss and why; they’ll leave you feeling both“jim” and “dandy.”

Gaga for GatorlandWhat: “Alligator Capital of the World” Why: Gators galore, silly. Plus visitorsenter the park through a giant gapinggator’s mouth and can take advantageof all kinds of attractions, includingthousands of crocodiles and alligators.Talk about reptilian rapture! www.gatorland.com, 800-393-JAWS

Green themeWhat: Networking reception, 6-8 p.m.Tuesday in the CRWC exhibit hallWhy: The event includes a perform-ance by Side Project, a musical actwith a DJ and a drummer that’ll getyou gyrating in your seat. The décor consists of green wheat grass centerpieces on green LEED tables.There’ll also be two open bars. Break out the party hats.

Nothing’s free?What: CRWC exhibit booths such asWaste Management Inc. and HeritageInteractive, as well as WRN’s CRWCNetworking PassportWhy: Waste Management is givingaway a Bagster while Heritage Interac-tive is offering an iPad to a lucky winner. Meanwhile, Waste and Recycling News has the NetworkingPassport, whose winners will be announced at the end of the show. Fill it out, drop it off at WRN’sbooth No. 116 and you could win an Amazon Kindle, a two-night stay at the Gaylord Palms Resort orsome WRN swag.

Going seasideWhat: SeaWorld’s TurtleTrek, a new attractionWhy: We just love that story with a moral about the tortoise and the hare. So take it slow and get upclose with some turtles and manatees before heading to a domed theater to watch a 360-degree, 3-Dmovie depicting “the amazing life journey of a special sea turtle named Nyah.” And don’t fret: You’llwin the race.888-800-5447, seaworldparks.com/en/seaworld-orlando/TurtleTrek

One busy guyWhat: Jeff Littlejohn, keynote speaker, 8:45 a.m., WednesdayWhy: We don’t know if he’s the busiest person on the planet, but he’s gotta be right up there. He over-sees the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s air, water, waste, environmental assess-

ment and restoration, among other du-ties. Heck, even his job title soundsbusy: deputy secretary for regulatoryprograms.

One big schnoz?What: Gaylord Palms Resort’s WreckersSports BarWhy: See the size of noses balloon on atwo-story, 37-foot TV screen, which canshow six different programs at once, orwatch any of the bar’s 50 other TVs andgaze at a wall of old license plates, justlike Sloppy Joes Bar in Key West, Fla.Avoid the temptation to go searching forthat lost shaker of salt.

Almost heavenWhat: Gaylord Palms Resort’s South BeachPool (guests only)Why: The pool is only for adults – no kidsdoing cannonballs. Its décor resemblesSouth Beach (Miami, Fla., for those not in-the-know) with palm trees and cabanas,and the pool features “zero entry,” meaningswimmers walk into it as if they’re at thebeach. And it’s got a bar! Woohoo! Anyonewant an umbrella drink?

Green giantsWhat: Green Corporate Citizen Awards Cer-emony, 8:15-8:45 a.m., WednesdayWhy: They’re the gold medalists of environ-mental stewardship. Six companies havebeen named finalists in two categories fortheir contributions to the “green” movement. How about a round of applause for the green teams?

Movies on waterWhat: Universal Studios’ Cinematic SpectacularWhy: Three words: “E.T. phone home.” Enjoy moments from films such as “E.T: The Extra Terrestrial,”“Apollo 13,” “American Pie,” “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “Jurassic Park,” “Scent of a Woman,” “TheMummy,” “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Fast and the Furious” shown “on huge waterfall screens,”according to Universal’s website. Better take an umbrella.www.universalorlando.com, 407-363-8000

Simply wildWhat: Disney WorldWhy: Well, don’t expect any “MickeyMouse answers” here. If you’re look-ing for a reason why, try DisneyWorld’s Wild Africa Trek for one. Take

a “guided expedition featuring close encounters with exotic wildlife species,” according to the website,and you can save $50 to boot this time of year. Words of warning: Beware of hippo breath.407-939-8687, disneyworld.disney.go.com/tours-and-experiences/wild-africa-trek

SeaWorld varies recyclingbased on park locationParks use whatever methodof recycling that best fitstheir specific area in U.S.

By Mark FiskWRN reporter

Some people have differentideas about the definition of sin-gle-stream recycling.

Some say single-stream is put-ting all your waste together, in-cluding trash, and having mate-rials recovery facility workerssort it out. Others say that sin-gle-stream recycling bins shouldcontain no trash.

SeaWorld Parks & Entertain-ment employs a largely no-trashapproach at its only single-streamrecycling facility, Busch Gardensin Williamsburg, Va., said AlexSorondo, corporate director of en-vironmental affairs for SeaWorldParks & Entertainment.

The company’s effort is “large-ly” no trash because park guestsdiscard trash and recyclables inseveral cans along pathways.The contents of the cans are tak-en to a MRF where workers sep-arate trash from recyclables.

Busch Gardens is allowed apercentage of trash-to-recycling,said Sorondo, who will discuss“Commercial Single-Stream Re-cycling: Best Practice, Risks,Benefits, and Case Studies” atthe Corporate Recycling andWaste Conference at the GaylordPalms Resort near Orlando, Fla.

“At the SeaWorld facility inOrlando, the different streamsthat we have are handled dif-ferently from a cost and/or rev-enue perspective,” said Soron-do, who added that the facilitydoesn’t pay to have materialhauled away.

SeaWorld Orlando does recy-cle, he said, but it’s not single-stream. Also, the difference be-tween the Orlando andWilliamsburg facilities showshow SeaWorld Parks & Enter-tainment adapts its recycling ef-forts to appease vendors.

“All of our facilities are in dif-ferent parts of the country,”said Sorondo, “which meansthat they all have different op-portunities and there are differ-ent vendors that handle [recy-cling] differently.”

For example, the SeaWorldSan Diego park might recycle dif-ferent material than the Orlan-do-area park. However, Sea-World Orlando offers a glimpseinto the diversity of what the

company recycles. SeaWorld Orlando recycles

aluminum cans, and glass andplastic bottles from guests. In ad-dition, the park recycles itemsfrom its operations, includingused oil, electronics, cooking oil,pallets, paper, cardboard, lightbulbs, scrap metal, shrink wrap,construction material and tonercartridges.

And the effort doesn’t stopthere. Sorondo said the compa-

ny hopes to start recycling wet-suits that the company passesout to guests to use at DiscoveryCove, where customers get achance to snorkel with dolphinsand see tropical reefs. The com-pany also anticipates recyclingthe passenger tubes used at itswater parks. ��

Federal Express Corp. has learned a lot and saved a lot from its company-widerecycling program, which began in 2004.

FedEx earns $10 for every$1 spent on recyclablesRecycling program initiatedin 2004 is paying off

By Mark FiskWRN reporter

Federal Express Corp. didn’tdeliver its recycling programovernight, but the company cer-tainly shows how profits canarise from an idea.

FedEx gets a return of $10 forevery dollar invested in its recy-cling program, and since its incep-tion in June 2006, the companyhas recycled 93 million pounds ofmaterial, said Joseph Stearns Jr.,the company’s senior environ-mental compliance specialist.

Not too shabby for an effortthat began with some fairly sim-ple questions.

“Around 2004, we startedgetting inquiries from our WestCoast facilities on what werethe current recycling initia-tives for the company, andback then we didn’t have any,”said Stearns, who will be one ofthe speakers today during the“ABCs of Recycling” panel. “Weknew sustainability was be-coming a buzzword and we de-cided as a company to go in thisdirection. I met with uppermanagement to get the pro-gram approval.”

Even with the approval,Stearns faced some challenges.

“I got the approval, but I didn’tget the capital,” Stearns said. “SoI didn’t have the solution to real-ly get started [buying things] likebalers and other equipment.”

That initial capital came froma couple of vendors who suppliedthe money for Stearns to pur-chase two balers in what hecalled a “lease-to-buy” deal forFedEx.

Although getting equipmentproved to be an initial snag, onepart of the recycling programwas nearly already in place.Since routing and delivery comesecond-nature for the shippingservice giant, the infrastructurefor hauling material came easily.

“One of the things that we didhave going for us is we have oneof the best back-hauling networksin the nation,” Stearns said. “Sogetting the material to a centrallocation was quite easy.”

Last year, FedEx recycled 47.9million pounds of the material gen-erated at its facilities, according to

the company’s 2011 Global Citi-zenship Report. In 2010, the par-cel delivery company recycled41.5 million pounds. Since 2007,the company’s Ground Greenprogram has recycled 65.1 mil-lion pounds of paper, cardboard,metal and plastic.

Stearns said FedEx continues tostudy ways to become more sus-tainable. One example involvesrepacking customers’ packageswhen they open. The company

used to repack packages usingmaterial such as peanuts and “pil-lows” filled with air.

“What we’re doing is we’rereusing cardboard shred as arepack material, and I have 40of these machines throughoutthe whole network,” Stearnssaid. ��

Stericycle works with morethan 528,000 customers world-wide, promoting safety, im-proved regulatory complianceand risk management.

The Lake Forest, Ill.-basedcompany deals with medicalwaste disposal, sharps disposalmanagement, product recallsand retrievals, OSHA compli-ance programs, pharmaceuticalrecalls and waste disposal,among others.

“We’ve seen a lot of our compa-nies that we partner with reallymake some great strides in theirrecycling rates, beneficial reuserates and zero-landfill,” Bussardsaid. “We think that companiesare going to continue to growsustainably.”

Around the corner from Stericy-cle’s setup, Lane Anderson, salesrepresentative with eFactor3LLC, had come in a little later toset up the company’s booth.

eFactor3 manufactures shred-ding, cleaning, granulating andextrusion equipment, along with

conveying and separation equip-ment for the recycling, waste andwaste-to-energy industries inNorth America.

The secret to setting up abooth entails a psychological as-pect, Anderson said.

“If the booth [has] open[space], it’s a little more invit-ing,” he said. “It’s like the wholedeal with crossing your arms;you’re kind of closed-off. If yourbooth is a nice, open concept, it’smore welcoming.”

eFactor3 decided to exhibit atthe conference for the secondstraight year because it allowscompany executives a chance tomeet with upper-level managersat other organizations and ad-vance its name recognition, An-derson said.

Bussard had the same goal inmind.

“We’re looking forward tospending some good one-on-onetime with a lot of folks here,”Bussard said. “We like the con-ference; we think it’s a great con-cept. I think it’s a conferencethat’s poised to grow, and wewanted to get in at the earlystages and be a part of it.” ��

“I didn’t know they were suchstewards of the community,”Robinson said after the tour.

“That was good to see. They don’tjust run trucks over the scales;they give back to the community.It’s like they are a waste compa-ny with a conscience.”
