And have a nice trip! when you are. The airline run by professionals Dick Salisbury is down in the dumps... He's a guy who spends a lot of time in the dumps, but he has good reason to be happy while he's there. Dick Salisbury deals in steel cans, which we all know as tin cans. He is Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Los Angeles By-Products Co., a firm that combs the garbage in major California cities for a half billion steel cans a year. In San Francisco, for example, his magnetic separators recover steel cans from garbage at the rate of 10,000 tons per year. L.A. By-Products also operates steel can recovery facilities in Oakland, Sacramento and Contra Costa Counties. Since steel cans are magnetic, it is easy to pull them out of municipal garbage by the millions. These reclaimed cans are sold to nearby copper mines for use in a chemical process that recovers copper from low grade ore. Steel cans are magnetically recovered in more than 20 cities across the nation. In addition to their use in copper mining, they are remelted to make new steel, used in the production of ferro-alloys, or detinned. As a result of recent research, they will soon be used by the foundry industry as well. Recovery and recycling of steel cans does more than simply preserve our natural resources. It saves valuable landfill space. It also conserves energy. And it puts cash in municipal treasuries. Sure, Dick Salisbury and his men are down in the dumps, but they can manage a smile. If you are down in the dumps about garbage, maybe we can help cheer you up, too.
