My Part in Recycling

Content brought to you by Full Circle Recycling 



I am sure that you, like myself, at some point didn't recycle. Or maybe you have been doing it since before it was cool. I started doing it for reasons different than most; I met my husband who was a metals and iron recycler.

He too started not because it was the thing to do but because he was raised in the business and it was how his family made money.

Now we don't just recycle metal - we do what we can and not because it makes us money - but because we want to change the world. It has become my passion to help make the world a better place and this is how to do it. Living consciously and making efforts to do my part is the start and I hope you will join us. WE DO have a choice in how we live but it takes effort and that is not always easy.

Not only is our world becoming unhealthy but our people are too, and that is what truly spurred me into the major changes we have made in our home. We found my husband's kidneys failing at the age of 38 and a transplant on the horizon. I am a fighter and will never take what I am told as the end; I looked at alternatives outside of traditional medicine and found a lot new information that would not necessarily help my husbands situation but it would educate me and maybe others who needed the information.

Tony had high lead levels, which leads to high blood pressure, which leads to kidney failure, which leads to a transplant. It was a nightmare that we made it through and I want to help make a difference and change the possibilities for others. So as much as I would love to have your metal and do business with you I would much rather know that you are reading this and being prodded to do your part.

That is why it may seem that this is all over the board but really it’s not - because like the kidney failure I was talking about previously, it ALL has to do with one thing… Making the world a better place for the next generations.
