Lady Green Miami Recycling Co is excited to congratulate our very own Michelle Salas, who through her dedication to help individuals and businesses reduce waste has received Waste 360’s 40 under 40 award! With a mission to protect the environment, Michelle’s impact on the South Florida waste industry continues to grow through her efforts educating the public on the importance of recycling.
Prior to founding Lady Green, Michelle received a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration and subsequently pursued her Master’s in Environmental Studies. During her first year in graduate school, Michelle recognized the rising environmental challenges that our generation and future ones are beginning to face. She was inspired to make a difference through recycling efforts and the concept of Lady Green Miami Recycling Co was born. Today, Lady Green provides waste pickup and multi-stream recycling services to over 1,000 locations throughout south Florida.
In the coming months, Michelle is publishing a children’s book called The Lady Green Club which will teach young children the importance of recycling and protecting our planet. She hopes that by teaching these ideals, through a story they can understand and relate to, it will resonate with them and make a lasting impression that will positively impact how future generations participate in recycling and efforts to reduce their waste.
Michelle will be accepting her award in Las Vegas in May. Feel free to contact Michelle for any inquiries or to congratulate her.
