GREEN WASTE <br />WCA's commitment to be a socially responsible corporate partner to our customers and communities is exemplified in our <br />Recycling Program. With the steadily -increasing concern for the ecological health of our communities, WCA has embarked an a <br />landfill diversion process where all material is taken to recycling facilities where it is used in the production of sail amendments. <br />We are committed to taking all recyclable materials removed from the trees trimmed for the duration of this project to a <br />recycling center for processing. Verification of amounts recycled will be obtained and reported by WCA via ArborAocess for the <br />purpose of meeting the goals of the State for reducing landfill usage. <br />COMPOST is made from fine ground branches, leaves or <br />other organic material. When mixed with oxygen and water, <br />thn organic material will decay or "compost" A finished <br />compost is excellent far turning into the top layer of soil and <br />will add nitrogen and increase the water holding capacity of <br />sail. You can make compost at home in a pile in your yard or <br />in a bin that you make or purchase. Large scale composting is <br />done at regional recycling facilities. <br />FIREWOOD is traditionally the most common use of large <br />branches and logs. Firewood is used to heat homes during <br />winter months. WCA takes lags to a yard in Irvine where a <br />firewood retailer splits and resells the firewood to local <br />residents. <br />LOGS TO LUMBER is an old idea with a new approach by <br />converting Agencytrees into usable lumber. WCA worked on a <br />twelve month trial program with the California Department of <br />Forestry and Fire protection to create an environmentally <br />sound and socially responsible alternative to imparting lumber <br />from other areas, reducing our demand an trees from natural <br />forests. <br />LOGS TO LUMBER <br />"Logs to Lumber" evolved from a 12-month trial program <br />where West Coast Arbarists. Inc. (WCA) worked with the <br />California Department of Forestry and Fire Promotion (CDF). <br />The Goal <br />is to create an <br />environmentally sound <br />and socially responsible <br />alternative to imparting <br />lumber from other areas E <br />and to reduce the <br />demand an trees from <br />0 Reducing <br />waste from the urbar forest. <br />Converting <br />trees removed into useable lumber. <br />Assisting <br />with landfill diversion (AIf939), <br />Giving <br />natural forests. back to the Community! <br />........................:......................,......... <br />The program proves to he successful and now WCA transports <br />suitable lugs to our wood recycling center.
