At a time when people are becoming more and more aware of need to reduce their garbage output, David Yerxa of Silver Lake continues to do his part with his recycling activities.

David has run a can recycling and paper shredding business for several years. He has pop can bins in Sharbot Lake at the Drop In and outside the Community Living office, and at the Anglican church in Maberly. His friends Bart and Alex help him to crush the cans on Mondays and Ernie and Alex help out on Tuesdays. The crushed cans are taken to Glenview Iron & Metal in Smiths Falls.

David also does paper shredding for several area organizations, including the Family Health Team, the Child Centre, Northern Frontenac Community Services and Rural Legal Services. Some of his business is volunteer, and some he gets paid for. David welcomes all the business he can get and he can be contacted at 613-268-2343
