Yes We Can - DLT Solutions's Charitable and Economically Friendly Initiative

Yes we can – Recycling for Charity Now more than ever, it is important for individuals and companies to be both environmentally and socially responsible. DLT Solutions is proud to do their part to give back to the surrounding communities while investing in a greener tomorrow through our newly introduced Yes We Can initiative. The idea, originally proposed by one of our network engineers Justin Martin, encourages all employees to collect aluminum can tabs which in turn will be donated to local charities so they can receive the proceeds.  The first donation will be to the Ronald McDonald House. Yes We Can also educates employees and emphasizes the importance to the environment to recycle the rest of the can. This initiative does a wonderful job of bridging the gap between DLT’s primary philanthropic foundation, The DLT Foundation, with the environmentally conscious DLT Go Green Committee, and the DLT Social Committee.  The three committees are working together for this cause and the unique blending creates a sense of community throughout the halls of DLT while bringing employees together for a common good. Aluminum is one of the few items in the recycling chain that is easily recycled over and over again keeping them out of overgrown landfills. Meanwhile charities benefit from receiving can tabs because they’re smaller and easier to clean allowing them to handle the large volume they receive. Small cups for tab collection have been placed on each employee’s desk and central collection bins have been placed in high traffic areas around the office serves as a reminder for employees to recycle the tabs. Posters have also been placed around the office with facts about the climate impact and ease of recycling. If you are involved in a local charity that would like to get a round of tab donations, please feel free to email us at sales@www.dlt.com.  We’ll get you in touch with the right person.
