FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RICHMOND, Va. – (June 3, 2011) East End Resource Recovery, formerly known as The East End Landfill (TEEL), announced today that the company has awarded a $1000 scholarship to Scott Fletcher, a Varina High School graduate for his outstanding academic achievements in science.
East End Resource Recovery COO Joseph Sandy presented Fletcher with the check at the high school’s graduation ceremony this morning. East End Resource Recovery plans a long‐term commitment to funding the annual science scholarship to Varina High School. This marks the first year.
“It is a great pleasure to see a dedicated student like Scott Fletcher continue his passion for science studies at Virginia Tech,” said Sandy. “As neighbors and good corporate citizens, we want to participate
in our local schools and encourage students to study science and engineering programs that will help us maintain greater environmental sustainability and stewardship of our land.”
Thank you letter from Varina High School
Varina High School counselors selected Fletcher. Academically, he passed three AP exams, and is ranked 22 out of 400+ students in his senior class. He will attend Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State
University in the fall of 2011.
East End Resource Recovery is a state‐of‐the‐art landfill site that accepts construction and demolition (C&D) debris within a 150‐mile radius of Richmond, Virginia. The site is one of a few of its kind in the U.S. to “mine” waste and recover salvageable, recyclable materials for reuse. Among materials typically
recovered and reused are: steel and scrap metals, glass, wood for biomass, tires, asphalt, concrete and
dirt/soils.
Through this innovative sustainability process, involving sophisticated machinery that separates materials and reduces waste to a smaller, denser mass, East End Resource Recovery reduces the amount of waste material going into the landfill site and also reduces mass, thereby increasing precious space and conserving more open land. Recovered materials are sold for recycling or repurposed.
