This prestigious recognition has been achieved by approximately 7 percent of early childhood programs nationwide - some 6,943 programs as of December 1999, serving 635,190 children. The SMA companies are geographically dispersed across the continent with 47 located in the United States, seven in Canada, and three in Mexico. SMA companies are proud to recognize the contributions businesses are making to the environment.
Steel is the most recycled material in North America.
Delaware generates over 1.1 million oil filters annually. Something as routine as having your car's oil changed poses a very serious problem for both the service stations as well as the environment. Before 1996, oil filters were tossed in most garbage dumpsters only to be landfilled. Now most of Delaware's used oil filers are contributing to SMA's steel recycling rate. DSWA then collects and transports the oil filters to the Delaware Recycling Center in New Castle County where filters are prepared for market.
