Thinking Green

Here at New River we think green by keeping it clean:

  • We recycle any unusable cardboard into large bails that we give back to the recycling plant.

  • Our corrugated sheets are made from recycled cardboard.

  • We use pallet jacks when moving small inventory around the building to cut down on fork lift usage.
