CMHA Recycling Scorecard
 CMHA
initiated a mixed paper recycling pilot at
six of its administrative
offices in March of 2008. In May, we rolled it out to all of
our administrative offices in our high-rise
buildings and at our family-unit offices. Around the same time,
we introduced paper recycling to our residents,
and you can see how their growing participation
has increased our score. To
the right, look for a picture of one of our
Euclid Beach residents “pitching
in”.
Since March, CMHA has shipped over 66,000 pounds of paper to our recycling
partner. The graph shows the steady increase in our paper shipments
as the residents at our
high-rise buildings were introduced to this initiative.
As you can see, in the month of August we show a downturn in the
amount of paper shipped from the month of July. This downturn
probably reflects that in August,
employees tend to enjoy more vacation time
than in the other summer months. In September we bounced back,
and the trend continued in October with over
11,000 pounds of paper shipped back to our
recycler, which is our best month yet.
In May, CMHA began to recycle corrugated cardboard. So far,
we have delivered nearly 16,000 pounds or eight
tons of cardboard to the recycling center. Make sure you continue
to check back and keep our “green” score with us!
