E-Recycling Turning into Lucrative BusinessWednesday, 20 April 2011 11:47 | | |
There's nothing short of a boom going on in the electronic recycling business in Wisconsin.
From Dynamic Recycling in La Crosse, Kurt Greeno says a law keeping E-waste out of landfills is part of the reason for the rapid growth of his business. Also the state requirement of manufacturers to pay for recycling of the stuff they sell in the state. He says that last part means Dynamic gets revenue from nearly everything they recycle. The exceptions: CRT glass from old TV's and monitors. A loss leader, but still making companies like his profitable and looking for workers.

Three people were dumped in a pond yesterday...by a snowplow.
Just before noon Tuesday, 38 year old Melody Cox of Prairie Du Chien was driving on Highway 35 near Stoddard when she passed a snowplow clearing the roads. As she passed the plow.....it threw snow on her windshield causing her not to be able to see where she was going. Her car spun out of control and ended up in a pond. Cox and two other passengers were pulled form the freezing water by Vernon County deputies. All 3 were taken to Gunderson Lutheran in Lacrosse with non-life threatening injuries. |
