Today I was a featured guest at our local landfill’s Earth Day event. It was so fun to meet everyone who came out to learn about recycling and saving the planet and I even got to see my friend Lisa Bartlett and meet Bryan Allen who played hockey for the Ducks! I got a really cool award today and I even won a worm farm in the raffle! Happy Earth Day everyone! #ryansrecycling #ocwasteandrecycling

Thank you Orange County Board of Supervisors for the award! Ryan was so proud today to receive a certificate from the County of Orange for his recycling & environmental awareness efforts. CR&R was also on hand to express their thanks to Ryan and they gave him a new toy trash truck!
