Virginia Library Receives CCA Environmental Award
April 2, 2007 - Alexandria, VA
Wizard of OzThe Mary Riley Styles Public Library and the City of Falls Church, Virginia were presented an award by Commercial Carpets of America (CCA) for their participation in CCA's Environmental Impact and Reclamation Program. The initiative includes such efforts as Thermal Recycling and Cradle-to Cradle Recycling in conjunction with StarNet Commercial Flooring Cooperative C.A.R.E (Carpet America Recovery Effort) program.

Accepting the award for Mary Riley Styles Public Library were Steve Wilson, Environmental Services Project Coordinator for the City of Falls Church and Mary McMahon, Library Director, who said, "This project went so smoothly; CCA had great crews and the efforts of (CCA's) Scott Averys, Project Manger, and the StarNet 'Liftman' were a major help…without both, the project that seemed impossible could not have been completed on time." To relieve the library staff of the burden of removing every book from the cases, CCA brought in Liftman™, StarNet®'s proprietary lift system designed to lift entire bookcases or retail gondolas and move them out of the way easily


Also on hand to receive the award were Kathy Allan, Environmental Programs Specialist for the City of Falls Church and Ralph Yatsko, Chair of the Environmental Service Council for the City of Falls Church. As noted by Ms. Allan, "I couldn't be happier. We have a commitment to the environment and CCA made this project possible through their program." "CCA has provided reclamation programs for over seven years and this is CCA's third presentation in the last year to those [clients] who make its success possible," said Ralph Grove, Vice President and Commercial Group Manager at CCA
