feather river hospital receives state recycling award

Feather River Hospital receives state recycling award 

CalRecycle, the states recycling & waste reduction agency has recognized Feather River Hospital for their recycling efforts for the second time with the Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP).

Under Director of Environmental Services Robert Crawford, the facilities
have increased their recycling program diverting on average 40,000 pounds
per month from the landfill. The environmental sustainable culture the
hospital has fostered required changes in daily routine and education.
NRWS & the Town of Paradise thanks Robert and the entire hospital
staff for this achievement.

NRWS staff assisted FRH in a tailored program that worked in the
heavily regulated hospital environment. NRWS is here to help you and
will at no charge help make a site specific plan for our customers. On average
commercial businesses recycle less than 17% of material. Increasing recycling beyond cardboard is easy and cost effective. Join our community efforts today for a better and sustainable tomorrow.
