   Please update or correct the article to identify the new facility owner and operator as IESI, not Waste Watchers.

   Martin,

   Waste Watchers has no affiliation with this project. I’m not sure I even know who Watchers is. IESI has developed this project as part of our partnership with the City of McKinney, Texas. This project was paid for 100% by IESI and is the first of its kind in North America. We appreciate your coverage of this very exciting grand opening but want to make sure that the public receives an accurate reporting of the ownership status of this one of a kind recycling facility.

   I look forward to a clarification of your reporting,

   John Gustafson
   Region Vice President

   Who do we speak to about getting a recycling program for an apartment complex? We live in the McKinney Place apartments that are just at the intersection of Hwy 121 and Lake Forest. Help!!

     Hi Ann,

     I would thoroughly recommend contacting EcoRewards, they are a division of the Abitibi Bowater recycling company and they can setup a recycling program for your apartment complex.
     Either fill out a contact form here, selecting "Apartment/Condo" under the Business Type; http://www.ecorewards.com/form/ContactUs.asp

     Or alternately contact Casey Gray;

   I live in an apartment community in McKinney and want to recycle. Is there somewhere near the intersection of Custer and Eldorado where I can drop off recyclables?

     Hi Andrew,

     I would recommend searching on Earth911.com for a local recycling drop off point.
     I tried searching for locations near to you and found the following;

     Hello Marie,

     I don’t think they allow people to pick up paper / cardboard from their dumpsters but you could always call them to double check;
     (469) 452-8000

     Thanks for your comment, we hope the IESI facility can help you

   What really happens to/with the #5 and #7 plastic items that are collected? I have been told that they are not recyclable and are thrown away anyway. Is this true?
