Illuminated Metro Santa Emerges for the Season

One of the great things about driving around all day is finding the free things that people leave at the curb. People throw the most amazing stuff out.

For instance, our glowy Santa was found discarded- orphaned, even- head down in a dumpster, actually- but he’s been brightening our holidays here at Metro for the last three years.

Saved from the landfill and shining on as a proud yard-high beacon of redemption.

GREEN FAIR THIS EVENING! Prepare to be Environmentally Edified.

Jun 8, 2012   //   by Metro Delivery   //   Employee Highlights, Events, News, News Stories  //  1 Comment

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!
