I am excited to introduce the listeners of Recycler Secrets to a great guy who just so happens to be a excellent hockey player and a top notch recycler. His organization processes over 6.5 million pounds of materials each year and they are a huge part of the recycling community as a whole.
Prepare yourself and open your earballs as we sit down with Nick Carlson the Vice President of Donated Goods Operations for Goodwill Industries of Greater Grand Rapids, Inc. In his role, he oversees warehousing operations, transportation and post-market & export operations. Nick also provides technical expertise around environmental and sustainability functions within Goodwill’s broader operations.
As you digest today’s episode you will learn about the following:
-The power of donated goods to drive Goodwill’s missions
-The value streams behind the different goods accepted at Goodwill and how that compares to curbside recycling.
-The different models of collecting donated goods from our homes including curbside, drop-off bins in retail store parking lots and stores such as Goodwill, Salvation Army and other nonprofits.
-We explore how different Goodwill locations have formed partnerships to disassemble and reclaim value from used goods. Examples include Goodwill Detroit’s Green Works program and Houston Texas E-Waste recycling initiatives.
- How to find the really cool items that never make it on to the shelves at a Goodwill store by going to their online marketplace at www.shopgoodwill.com
And so much more. So stop reading and start listening right now!
