GREEN FAIR THIS EVENING! Prepare to be Environmentally Edified.
Metro Delivery will have a little booth goin’ at the ANN ARBOR GREEN FAIR tonight, 6-9 PM. C’mon down and see us!
Metro’s committed to doing the best we can to be green; we recycle ferociously, we keep our vehicles maintained for improved emissions, we reuse everything when possible, and we reduce our energy usage with initiatives like our no-idle policy, no disposable dishware, motion sensitive lighting in our offices, etc, etc.
Plus, the Business Development Manager hassles people relentlessly to consider biking to work like he does, with occasional success. It’s a lot of little things, but it adds up!
We’re a member of Washtenaw County’s Waste Knot organization, and we’re learning more all the time about exciting new ways we can continue to conserve our natural resources. It’s a real focus for us as we expand and improve our business.
Look for more Metro Green Projects in the future!

Metro Delivery Honored for Environmental Protection
Metro Delivery of Ann Arbor has been chosen as a Waste Knot Award Partner for its waste-reduction program by the Washtenaw County Department of Planning and Environment.
The Waste Knot Program won national recognition when it received the Wise Gold Award for Community Involvement last year from the federal Environmental Protection Agency. Locally, businesses must submit a written application and pass an on-site inspection to earn designation as an Award Partner.
Metro Delivery’s waste reduction program is directed by John Rabideau, General Manager, and Ken Ridley, Field Agent. “This designation is both a reward and a stimulus for even greater efforts on our part,” said Rabideau.
Metro Delivery recently was named a Waste Knot Award Partner by Washtenaw County.
