Hello [first name],

Welcome to our newsletter! This is a great way for us to keep you up-to-date with all of Happy Stan’s latest activities.

We look forward to taking care of your recycling needs, whether it's a service or advice. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions about our newsletter.

From all of us at The Happy Stan's Team, thank you!

Rather than buy a new costume you will only wear once and throw away, make one out of clothes and fabrics you already have. You can also get terrific "costumes" at thrift shops and yard sales. Swap costumes with neighbours and friends. Donate your kids' used costumes to day care centers or shelters.

Send your kids out to collect their candy with reusable buckets, canvas bags or pillowcases.

Once Halloween is over, recycle your pumpkins, the straw you used to build scarecrows and any other organic material by composting it. The compost can be used as fertilizer for your garden.

Urge your children to dispose of their candy wrappers in their bags or in trash cans rather than on the street.

Happy Stan’s Recycling Service is proud to announce that it is now a proud member of the Building Owners and Managers Association in British Columbia!

All successful environmental management systems start with a good office recycling program. At Happy Stan’s Recycling Services, we offer more than just a good office recycling program; we offer a great office recycling program. Set yourself up with a regular scheduled pick-up of your office paper, metals, cardboard and mixed bottles and cans, or simply call us when you feel like you need a pick-up, the choice is yours!

For a more integrated program, please inquire about how you can save even more when you include one or more of our specialty services with your regular recycling program:

• Document Destruction
• Electronic Recycling
• Fluorescent tube recycling
• Battery recycling

Contact our office and speak to one of our customer service representatives to find out how you can start an office recycling program.

Keeping with our promise to take the next few issues to talk to you about plastics with out recycling codes, the highlighted plastic this month is Acrylic. Acrylic is better known as Plexiglas which is found readily in the form of:

• Store displays
• Industrial aquariums
• Picture frames
• Art
• Acrylic Sheets

This type of plastic can simply be dropped-off at our resource recycling facility in Port Coquitlam, or can be included in any of our recycling programs. For a free quote on your recycling pick-up please visit our website or email us at recycle@happystan.com.
