Good morning everyone! It has been a long time since I have made a post due to football, however, I would like to start regularly posting again with updates regarding both Mint City Recycling and the BHS recycling club.

The first thing I have is that Mint City Recycling is now servicing businesses in the Bremen area! We currently have one business signed on to our service, with another business in the works. I am very happy to finally be able to start helping businesses in need of a recycling service.

I would love to be able to reach some businesses in town as my next venture. I am still working on pricing and what I may need to provide to businesses that are interested in my service.

As for the recycling club, we are still working hard in the school to spread awareness about the importance of recycling. We have collected a lot of plastic bottles and cans, and here soon we will be selling the cans to make money for the club. As for the plastic bottles, we are still trying to find a place to sell them to.

Thank you all for the continued support as I keep trying to grow my business!

It was a great day to get the recycling bins cleaned and ready for school tomorrow! Thanks to the help of the recycling club members we were able to get recycling bins cleaned, dried, and set up for the first day of school. I am excited for what this school year has to bring because I have many ideas for recycling at the school that I want to get started! Here’s to the start of a great year!

A couple days late, but I’m excited to announce that it is now official! Mint City Recycling is filing with the State of Indiana to be incorporated! Thanks to Jackie Homann, with Jones Obenchain LLP, for providing services pro bono to assist me in becoming an LLC. Jackie has been a coach and vital part of the entrepreneurship program at BHS.

Happy Saturday everyone! Last week I talked about where my idea originated, today I would like to talk about how I have acted upon it.

So sophomore year I came up with the idea, last year I decided to create a recycling club at BHS. Initially, it had a very rocky start. At the first callout meeting I held, there was a single person that showed up. I was worried that everything was already going to come to an end. But things quickly turned around. With the help of my friends and peers, we grew to 9 members in less than a week! This was huge because the club could finally start.

You may be wondering what is done in recycling club. Well, we started off with cleaning the schools recycling bins and then put them into the classrooms in the high school. From there we collect what’s inside once a week as well as sort it. Initially, we only collected aluminum cans and plastic bottles, but towards the end of the year we started collecting paper/cardboard.

After everything has been collected and sorted, we decide on what is done with it. The aluminum cans are sold to OmniSource in South Bend(which we have already sold 344 pounds of cans!), while the plastic bottles and paper are given to Señora Kaseweter who helps us with the recycling process. However before we hand over the plastic bottles, we first take the bottle caps off and hold onto them. The reason being that we want to make a bench for the school using recycled plastic.

I would like to thank all of the members of last years recycling club as well as the incoming members for this upcoming year. I would also like to thank Mrs. Reed(a.k.a Mom) for being our teacher sponsor as well as Señora Kaseweter for helping us with the process of recycling.

Thank you all for reading and the support!

P.S. Stay tuned within the next coming weeks as there are big things to come that I’m very excited for and can’t wait to announce!

Good morning everyone and happy Friday! I wanted to share a brief backstory about Mint City Recycling and where it originated from.

It started as a simple class project in Entrepreneurship my sophomore year with 3 of my peers and myself. Our original idea was to turn recyclable items into usable products/home decor. That idea quickly changed once we found out it wasn’t feasible to do without expensive machinery. So we quickly changed from products to a recycling service. Our group knew there was tons of competition in Bremen, but we had one major thing that set us apart from the other businesses. The service was going to be as transparent as possible with our customers. Meaning we were going to provide information about what happens to collected recycling once we got it. My group found that the other recycling services didn’t make this information easily accessible or accessible at all. We wanted our customers to feel environmentally responsible.

Later on in the class, we started to recycle at the school to start. We provided all high school classrooms with a recycling bin which we collected from at the end of every week. We did that for a few weeks until the school year ended, and the teachers especially were so happy to see recycling happening again at the school. At the end of the class we had to pitch our idea to a board of judges, where we got funded by them to continue working on the business.

This all happened in the span of a few months and has grown into something so much bigger than I ever expected it to. And although it is just me working on the business now, I can’t thank my other group members and teachers/mentors enough for the help and support along the way.
