Oklahoma Goodwill is "going green." For us, it isn't about following business trends, it's simply a logical step for Goodwill--After all we've been recycling and reusing donated items since 1936!
Every year, Oklahoma Goodwill recycles millions of items that would have gone into landfills by reselling donated goods in our retail stores. We have taken that a step further and adopted many environmentally friendly habits, all of which are good for our organization, the community we serve, and Oklahoma's environment. Many of these new habits actually reduce our operating costs or bring in money, which means we can direct more funding toward our programs.
- Recycling cardboard, paper, glass, plastic, aluminum, and much more
- Purchasing supplies made from recycled materials
- Keeping our buildings energy efficient
- Fueling some of our trucks with biodiesel, a renewable cleaner-burning fuel mixture of vegetable oil and diesel
- Driving hybrid vehicles
We invite all of our employees, clients, donors, and retail customers to join us in "going green." We also thank those who have assisted us in our efforts. |
