The recycling program, collecting paper and aluminum cans has been a huge success. Chevron helps boys m Matt Eschler, the operations manager and home parent for the Utah Boys Ranch, said "We are pleased for the opportunity of the Ranch to be chosen to assist Chevron in its recycling program. Not only do the proceeds from this project go to underprivileged boys at the ranch, but it teaches our young men the importance of conserving con-serving our precious environment." Fur further information, contact Hugh Dickey, Chevron at 539-7337 or Matt Eschler, Utah Boys Ranch at 969-3252. Chevron's Salt Lake Refinery and the Utah Boys Ranch have teamed up to develop a recycling program at the refinery. For several years the refinery has had a waste minimization program. The program called SMART, or Save Money And Reduce Toxics, is designed to reduce hazardous and industrial waste. Last summer employees decided to extend the program to include municipal wasteoffice paper, computer paper and aluminum cans. Chevron worked with the Utah Boys Ranch to develop a service project with the boys. The Utah Boys Ranch was founded in 1964 by Lowell Bennion and others to provide support and guidance for disadvantaged boys in Utah. For the recycling program, Chevron collects paper and aluminum in different bins around the refinery. The boys come and collect the recyclable material and then take it to local recyclers. All the proceeds from the recycling recycl-ing effort go to support the Boys Ranch. Hugh Dickey, public affairs manager for Chevron, said, "We are very excited about this program. Our employees came up with the idea of recycling office waste, and we quickly linked it to how we could help support a community program with the proceeds. Utah Boys Ranch was a natural fit since we have supported them in the past. ' |
