Help Reading Terminal Market Go GREEN!

Reading Terminal Market — 2007-11-14 18:12:00-05:00

Beginning Friday, November 9th, 2007 the Reading Terminal Market merchants and customers will begin recycling aluminum cans, glass and plastic bottles, newspapers and plastic grocery bags.

There will be separate recycling containers for each recyclable item situated throughout the Market. **Plastic bags are collected by Goodwill Industries to be recycled into composite plastic lumber. **Aluminum cans are melted down and turned into new aluminum cans. **Plastic bottles are used in the carpeting and clothing industries. **Glass bottles are used in applications including erosion control, custom asphalt blends, and reduced weight concrete mixes. **Newspapers are re-used to produce new printed paper products including newspapers.

WHAT ELSE DOES THE MARKET RECYCLE? The Market currently recycles (1) cardboard shipping containers, (2) food waste into feed for a New Jersey pig farmer, and (3) cooking oil into animal feed and beauty supplies.

Reading Terminal Market is committed to reducing its environmental impact and we hope that our customers are too

Stories From Reading Terminal Market

$1,087 Raised for Eastern Market, Washington DC

Reading Terminal Market — 2007-06-02 18:25:00-05:00

Reading Terminal Market Customers Show Support for Damaged Washington, DC Market

Early on Monday morning, April 30th, Washington, DC�s 134 year-old Eastern Market suffered a devastating fire that destroyed the roof of the historic South Hall and shut down operations. All 14 food vendors, each of them small, independent merchants like those here at Reading Terminal Market, were suddenly put out of business. While the city vows to rebuild the market, it will take at least 18-24 months.

During the month of May, all contributions made to Philbert the Pig, the bronze sculpture at the Reading Terminal Market, were dedicated to a fund for Eastern Market merchants created by the Capitol Hill Community Foundation in Washington, DC. The total amount collected and sent to the fund was $1087.00

For more information about the Capitol Hill Community Foundation, or call 202-544-1845
