Ready for Spaghetti and Fundraising?

 It's that time for us once again and we invite all to attend our 6th annual Italian Feast Fundraiser, Saturday, May 4th at the Eureka Bible Church, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
If you've never attended one of our IFF's (as we call it), then you absolutely must join us for this great event! We chose Avanti's once again to supply our array of fabulous pasta, sauces, salad and bread and we'll be calling on local families and friends of ADDWC to donate baked goods for desserts (and you do NOT want to miss those! Yum!).
 This year our very own Ben Rudolph will be gracing us with his phenomenal piano and voice abilities and a new addition - we'll be having a balloon-artist from Unique Twists ready to make balloon creations for children and adults alike! We will also have our staple silent auction and raffle to participate in, complete with fabulous donations from local businesses.
 So don't hesitate to give us a ring and let us know how many you'd like to bring to our feast! Ticket prices are as follows:

Adults  $7
Children (12&under) $5
All children under 3 eat free!

 Don't want to wait? Call Kaleena at 309-467-3015 ext. 103 and get your tickets today! We can't wait to see you there!

Get a load of this!

      Just to give you an idea of all that gets done here at ADDWC, Midwest Fiber gives us the tools on their website to calculate just how much poundage (more like tons!) of materials we end up passing along to them. 

      Here's a visual comparison of our 2011 and 2012 numbers. 

      We want to especially thank Midwest Fiber for their fantastic partnership and dedication to helping keep our environment clean. Check out their website at www.midwest-fiber.com.

And Now, A Word From Roger Crow

No Rest for the ADDWC Vocational Crew! 
  We just completed a record breaking 2012 with a whopping 695.01 tons of material diverted from the landfill! This is a 116.73 ton increase from 2011!

• Materials accepted are; office paper, newspaper, magazines, books (both soft and hard-backed), plastic food grade containers (#1-#7), aluminum cans, tin cans and cardboard. AND REMEMBER - we are unable to recycle plastic bags and styrofoam. 
• We also recycle electronics, except for full-size appliances (stoves, full refrigerators, etc.) and anything containing freon. 
• Effective 01.29.2013,  ADDWC is happy to announce that we will now be accepting tin cans at the Moody location only!
• Did you know ADDWC hosts 24 hour drop off sites in five communities throughout Woodford County? They are located in Eureka, Goodfield, Metamora, Minonk, and Washburn. 
• Did you know ADDWC offers pick-up services for Woodford County businesses for a nominal fee? There are nearly fifty business pick-ups each week currently!

Why is it important to sort when using our drop off locations? 

   When using an ADDWC recycling drop off location, you will notice signs instructing what materials to place in each bin. We encourage people to make a conscious effort to sort the material accordingly. This helps us to work efficiently and keep labor costs down, in an effort to see more return for our product. This money can then be used to pay our individuals as well as assist our program in purchasing necessary equipment needed to help our agency succeed.

• We are anxiously awaiting word form DCEO to find out whether we will receive a grant towards the purchase of a new route truck. The one route truck we currently own has upwards of 300,000 miles on it. We don't just stay put!
• One of our individuals recently passed his forklift certification class through Goodwill Inc. He is currently gaining experience and further training through ADDWC and will soon be given a letter of recommendation to take with him in his search for a forklift driving position! Congratulations T.R.! Anyone hiring? 
• Another of our individuals is continuing to help ADDWC give back to the community by volunteering at Washington Christian Village every Friday. He is in charge of cleaning the front dining area from top to bottom and does a tremendous job! Thank you B.Z. for being such an example of true community; and thank you Washington Christian Village for the partnership and opportunity!

Upcoming Events

•  February 23rd - Guy's Night at the Peoria Rivermen game! Thank you TCRC for the vouchers! 
• March 12th - Access the March Madness Experience - Thank you to HISRA!

If you have any further questions regarding our recycling program, please contact Roger at 309-467-3015 ext. 109.
