Pinewood Cove Resorts has implemented a procedure for the recycling of scrap metal which has reduced the amount sent to land fill. We have also increased the collection points for customers and employees to help increase our amount of recycled material. In 2004 a property wide clean up of a boneyard area was completed. This was the first off season that we had at that location. Large amounts of recyclables (Wood and Scrap metal)were not recycled and went to landfill. In 2005 a large reduction in clean up was needed. In future years a large amount of scrap metal may sent to recyclers. Pounds is our recycling unit and tons is our landfill units.
