Go Green Committee Donates to Local Charities

Our company and our employees now recycle:

• Cardboard
• Newspapers
• Mixed Paper
• Plastic Bottles
• Aluminum Cans

Any proceeds from our recycling initiatives will be donated to a local charitable organization selected by the SCI REMC employees and the Go-Green Committee. So far, we have made three presentations to local charities totalling $1,500.

• In November, 2009, the Go Green Committee presented a check for $500 to the Good Shepherd Community Clinic in Martinsville.
• In June, 2010, the Go Green Committee presented a check for $500 to the Wellspring Center in Martinsville
• In December, 2010, the Go Green Committee presented a check for $500 to Desert Rose in Martinsville

• There is no limit to the number of times aluminum cans can be recycled.
