J.R.’S, along with Fantastic Sams, Buffalo Wild Wings, and the J.R.’S Advanced Recyclers Race Review Radio Show, put on a fundraiser for the St. Fancis Cancer Center.  The radio show was once again at Buffalo Wild Wings in Lakeville.  They had 6 chairs set up where Fantastic Sams of Lakeville was offering haircuts for $12.  A large portion of the proceeds went directly to the familys in need at the St. Francis Cancer Center.  We had a great turnout.  The J.R.’S Advanced Recyclers race car, and the Raceway Park Kwik Trip pace car were on display for the kids to sit in and play on.  Anyone who wore their J.R.’S Race Team shirt got their haircut paid for by the owner of J.R.’S, Terry Zeien.

Anoka Co. Award

Anoka Co. Award

Well, sometimes we have to do a little bragging.  This is a picture that was taken of me with Anoka County Commissioner Jim Kordiak.  J.R.’S received an award from Anoka County for all of our hard work we did with the cities in Anoka County to increase recycling rates.  We appreciate the award, and are thankful for all the cities that utilized our services in 2008!!

This one falls under the unusual category for things coming into our facility.  This was just towed in today and is really something to admire.  It is a 1972 Winnebago Chieftain RV.  It looks like it was top of the line in 1972.  This thing is fully loaded.  I was a little hesitant to climb inside though, as the first thing i saw upon opening the door was a giant mouse nest.  Once i got past the nest without getting attacked, i was able to truly take in the beauty of this once magnificent weekend road warrior.

Captain Garbage’s Corner http://blog.advancedrecyclers.com/?p=18 http://blog.advancedrecyclers.com/?p=18#comments Mon, 13 Apr 2009 20:29:03 +0000 Mike Larson http://blog.advancedrecyclers.com/?p=18 Eric is one of our long time employees.  He has a knack for collecting what some deem as garbage for his own personal use.  He is probably the person who coined the phrase “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.  These photos are of his Camaro, his golf cart, his boat, and the bed of his pickup.  See the photos for a detailed description.  Recently Eric hit a deer, destroying the bumper on his truck.  Did he buy a new bumper?  Of course not!!  He gathered some metal out of our scrap pile and made one!

My name is Mike Larson, the sales manager at J.R.’S Advanced Recyclers.  I plan to use this blog to showcase what is new and interesting at our facility.  One of the things I would like to do, is periodically post pictures and descriptions of funny or interesting things that come through our recycling plant.  We receive appliances, electronics, tires, batteries, bulbs, cars, trucks, boats, forklifts, and any type of scrap metal imaginable.  You would be amazed at some of the random things that can be found in our scrap metal piles that come in almost every day.  Just two days ago we found an urn from a funeral.  It was dated April 2008.  I guess someone decided it had been siting on the mantel long enough, and decided to cash in on the brass scrap value form the urn!! 

Please stay tuned, as i start collecting and photographig some interesting things for all of you to see!

-Mike-
