Confessions of the Smiling Cashier

Recycle is where it’s at!

Hey…did you know that people everyday are becoming more conscious how we are trashing our world, and affecting this world of ours for our children and grandchildren.

There are times I get the impression that the general population is not seeing a trashed world for future populations.

It’s the younger generation that has to be educated for the necessity to recycle. And lets not forget that children tend to copy mom and dad…and even grandpa and grandma, so guess what…we teach by doing. Setting an example!

Sometimes the older…senior people want to leave it to someone else to start to clean up the mess. Now is the time to do something and it takes all of us.

Lets take one little thing and do it just so that we can say we’re helping!

When we empty a cereal box…break it down and put it in the recycle box.

When we empty a milk carton…put it under foot, squash it and put it in the recycle box,

Now…on the lighter side..if you are not having such a good day, take a look at the adorable kittens at     http://www.amazingcatcollection.com

This should give you a lift!

Ron’s gone…til next time

Just another day…

It’s Just another day…it’s cold…the wind is blowing it’s been snowing and the heater I left on to heat the ‘toll booth’ has not really kept the place warm enough…oh well!

I count and justify the money given me, and wait to open the gate for my friends to come in. I am slowly learning first name and something that would help me remember their name. Alfi and bailey come in…Dick comes in and Sarge…almost everytime he comes in…brings a gift from the garden or some of that dark sweet  amber gold…that he tapped and boiled to perfection last spring. It’s out of this world.

The first time you come to Alpco recycling you’re a customer…after that you’re a friend!

These friends come in once a week…others come once every two weeks…or longer. It’s their schedule.
