Covanta Pittsfield Partners with Goodwill08:50AM / Wednesday, October 21, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. - Covanta Pittsfield is partnering with the local Goodwill  chapter to encourage employees and local residents to recycle their gently worn clothes.
Mayor James Ruberto and representatives from the Berkshire County regional Goodwill chapter joined Covanta Pittsfield employees today to place a permanent Goodwill bin at the facility, located at 500 Hubbard Avenue in Pittsfield.
“The folks at Covanta do a great job turning leftover waste into renewable energy, but they’re also always on the lookout for ways to help Pittsfield boost its recycling rate. It’s great that they’ve taken the initiative to work with Goodwill to collect shoes and clothing from Pittsfield residents,” said Mayor Ruberto.
Pittsfield residents along with Covanta employees are encouraged to donate all articles of usable, clean clothing and shoes.
“We’re on the campaign trail to increase our inventory of gently worn clothing and shoes as we move into the colder months,” said Tom Speckert, Executive Director at Goodwill. “Our clothing drives not only support people with limited resources by providing clothing and shoes but offer training to some others so that they can get a job.”
Covanta Pittsfield operates the Pittsfield Resource Recovery Facility, which processes the municipal solid waste remaining after curbside recycling into clean, renewable energy. An active member of the local community, the Pittsfield facility recently participated in the Housatonic River Clean up efforts sponsored by the Berkshire Environmental Action Team and is a long-time sponsor of the annual 4th of July Parade, among other community activities.
“Covanta Pittsfield is thrilled to be partnering with Goodwill on this initiative. Giving clothes a second-life by encouraging their recycling is a great way for us to give back to our community. We should all realize that reuse is the highest form of recycling,” said Meg Morris, Covanta’s New England Regional Director for Environmental Science and Community Affairs. “We believe that we have a responsibility to give back and do so by investing in the communities in which we operate, by providing jobs for local residents, and by supporting local initiatives such as this.”

| Covanta's partnering with Goodwill is a wonderful start in the right direction of recycling what we no longer need. Going to the recycling center on Hubbard Ave and seeing "right before your eyes" the blue bin of Goodwill will make people more aware of the need of recycling. The BLUE BIN is the color bin to keep jobs in the Berkshires and southern Vermont. | | from: Jean Haywood | on: 10-22-2009 |
