Our Christmas Poem T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house The only one up was Happy Stan, not the mouse! While I was so nestled, and snug in my bed Pop cans and bottles, clanked in Stan’s head Happy Stan was awake, he just couldn’t sleep Dreaming of how many can’s he would reap While every child’s list, longed almost a mile The left over boxes, made Happy Stan smile When out of the blue, Happy Stan heard a clatter Shocked to discover, that Santa was Fatter He slid down our Chimney, through ashes and muck Supposed to be sleeping, I saw Santa stuck I noticed a man, with traces of dirt That covered his elbows, his hands and his shirt He reached his hand high, to help Santa out Where did he come from, what’s he about? Who had saved Santa, from being stuck in that soot? Who yanked him out, from the sole of his foot? I didn’t quite know, found out what I could Turns out Happy Stan, did just what he should Santa was chubby and plump, had put on some pounds And needed some help, making his rounds Stan worked out a plan, to help Santa out In exchange for some words, that Santa would shout Santa delivered each gift, with a big rosy grin Happy Stan ate the cookies, ‘cause he was so thin And I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight Help save a tree, recycle tonight!

Christmas Lights With the Holiday season coming near, it’s getting to be that time where we all creak down our basement steps, dust off those beat-up old boxes, and start testing our Christmas lights. If, for whatever, reason you feel you need to replace those old Christmas light strands, we would like to let you know that Happy Stan’s Recycling Services is able to recycle old light stands as long as the lights are removed. They can simply be dropped-off at our local indoor drop-off area, at 1603 Langan Avenue in Port Coquitlam, or you can request a quote for a pick-up via email or telephone.

Christmas Packaging When unwrapping your Christmas gifts this year, please remember that the wrapping paper used to wrap your gifts, the boxes your gifts came in, and even the paper filler used to stuff some of your gifts, is all recyclable. All of this can be dropped-off at our local resource recycling facility at 1603 Langan Avenue in Port Coquitlam. (Please no Styrofoam)

Plastics, Plastics, Plastics - The Finale For those of you who have enjoyed our segments about plastics we recycle, I would like to extend a warm thank you for your interest. For those of you who still would like to know more about plastics, just simply drop us a line and we will be happy to answer your questions to the best of our knowledge. To recap the last 3 issues regarding plastics, it doesn’t always have to have a number on it to be recyclable, and some times when it does have a number, your local recycler can’t accept it. These are just the funny facts about plastics. So there is no confusion when dropping off your plastics or requesting a pick-up, Happy Stan’s will accept: CDs, DVDs, and their cases, Acrylic (Plexi glass), Poly Carbonate (other clear plastics), plastic bags, and shrink-wrap. We accept all these plastics in addition to the magnificent 7.
