Happy Friday! Enjoy the last Friday jokes for the month:
How long does it take a nurse to change a light bulb? About 15 seconds tops to change it and 20 minutes to document it — how, when, where, why and what serial number it had. –submitted by Michelle Vork
Why did the banker quit his job? He lost interest! –submitted by Sandy Johnson
I was wondering why music was coming from my printer…apparently the paper was jamming! –submitted by Ryan Sjoberg

Thank you to everyone who has been bringing in their plastic recycling for the Trex Recycling Program!
The Mora Campus has recycled 224.4lbs in just ONE month! Way to go, we’re nearly halfway to our first bench!
Recycling bins in Mora are currently being emptied on Mondays. If you see a bin that needs to be emptied during the week, please reach out to Anna at aschultz@welia.org.
Welia Health is now a participant of the Trex Recycling program for all locations, Pine City, Hinckley, and Mora!
What is Trex Recycling?
Trex invented composite decking and has since led the industry in innovation and manufacturing of wood-alternative decking products, making their mission to be environmentally responsible.
Trex has a win-win-win situation: “When you donate your unwanted plastic materials to Trex, not only are you helping to keep thousands of pounds of waste out of landfills, you’re also helping us to continue to create beautiful and environmentally responsible outdoor products.”
Why recycle through Trex?
Trex takes plastic that is often thrown out – plastic wrap from food, plastic from packaging, produce bags, store bags, Ziploc, bubble wrap, etc. and recycles it into composite products. All we have to do is bag it up and send it! Plus, each Welia Health location is eligible to receive a free composite bench every six months if we reach the goal of 500 pounds of plastic recycled!
What can we recycle?
We can bring in clean, dry plastic recyclables from home and recycle plastic we go through at work:
Produce bags
Plastic wrap
Store bags
Ice bags
Ziploc/reclosable bags
Cereal/cracker box liners
Bread bags
Newspaper sleeves
Bubble wrap
Medical supply wrappers
Any plastic that you’re able to crumple in your hand – NO HARD PLASTIC
When does this start?
Pine City and Hinckley have already been recycling plastic (Pine City has reached their goal in just four months and has a bench on the way!). Mora begins today, April 1st!
