Ryan’s story featured in India today:Â http://www.vikatan.com/news/world/98444-story-of-ryan-the-recycler.html
It’s not every day that you have a Congressman stop by your house to say hi and to check out your business. Yesterday was our day. California Congressman Darrell Issa visited Ryan’s Recycling Headquarters. Mr Issa talked with Ryan about sustainability and gave us some insight into how Ryan could grow his business. He also gave us some good ideas for the future and he gave Ryan a Congressional coin as a momento. Thank you to Mr Issa and his staff for making this happen. 
Ryan had a lot of new customers start recycling with him the past few weeks and it showed when it came time to cash in all those cans and bottles. Ryan cashed in over $540 this time and it’s his new record! Many people ask us where all these cans and bottles come from. Ryan has friends all over our local area that call to have him come pick up their cans and bottles. It’s a lot of work picking up and sorting and re-bagging but it’s worth it. Thank you everyone who helps him!
Thank you Materials Recycling World in the UK for the mention in your magazine 
Our friends at DELL sent Ryan a brand new XPS 13 laptop for his recycling efforts today! Inside the box was a really cool letter from Adrian Grenier who is Dell’s Social Good Advocate and a UN Goodwill Ambassador. This is so cool and Ryan will put it to good use! Thank you!
