2017 Walkway Marathon Digital Race Packet 2017DigitalRacePacket | Page 23

Dear Participant, Welcome to the third annual Walkway Marathon, winner of the 2016 Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce “Green and Lean” Headliner Award! Royal Carting Service Company is excited to be a part of this wonderful event that will bring many athletes and guests to Dutchess and Ulster Counties from all over the country. The Walkway is a jewel in the Hudson Valley’s crown and the marathon will introduce these visitors to our beautiful river valley, historic attractions, fabulous restaurants, and the special people that make our home such a great place to live and work. For those who are not familiar with our company, Royal Carting is a local family-owned company providing residential and commercial trash removal and recycling services for over 40,000 Hudson Valley residents. Royal Carting has been supporting community events such as this since its inception in 1955 as a concerned and responsible corporate neighbor. The Walkway Marathon is particularly meaningful to our company because of the “Green” Initiative and our participation on the Green Team. The marathon organizers asked participants to think about the resources we consume every day in the most ordinary ways; registering online and using public transportation are just a few ways we can reduce our footprint. Royal Carting also welcomed the opportunity to provide education about its efforts toward trash reduction, recycling and reuse technologies and practices, and composting organic materials. We hope that sharing information about Royal Carting and our commitment to the community will explain how Royal became, and remains, the leading solid waste and recycling service provider in the Mid-Hudson Valley. Congratulations to everyone participating in this year’s race. We hope to see you back in Dutchess County soon!
