  Speaker 4: of Vermont. So you know you can check us out

  Speaker 4: everybody to make it easy to drop off your tires.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Sure. Sure, what is your your story? What is your title?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: How long have you been with Cassella?
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, I've been with Cassella that might be seven or
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: eight years now. I'm the area sales manager for Vermont,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: So I work with all of our large customers around
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: the state, work with our sellers. You know, we're constantly
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: doing education around how we're handling and diverting material, whether
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: it's our depackaging facility or you know handling special way
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: specialized recycling with manufacturers. So, you know, I had the
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: best job ever. I get to work with people all
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: over Vermont. I get to work with our awesome sales team,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: which really means just the lotion's account managers. So how
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: do we you know, how do we divert material from
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: the landfill? Big success story around mattresses that I honestly
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: could come on talk another time. The amount of mattresses
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: we've diverted from the landfill.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy, really, Yeah.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: We have one transfer station that's sending about three truckloads worth.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: The mattresses to be recycled a week a week, a week,
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: so you know, it's about three hundred mattresses and a trailer.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: So uh, you know, we get rid of a lot
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: of mattresses and we're trying to save that space in
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: the landfill since we have one in Vermont.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: You know, tire's another thing.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: You know, we want to put them to the highest
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: and best use, so you know, if we can reuse them,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's the number one at the top, there
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: is reuse before disposal.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, every single year I talk about wheels
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: for warmth, and every year I'm my eyebrows always shoot
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: up when I see the numbers. This is such a
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: multi tiered win situation for so many for our state.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: But look at twenty seven thousand tires sold in twenty years,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: nineteen years. Yeah, crazy, how many recycled. We've recycled fifty
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: three thousand tires. Fifty three thousand. That is absolutely staggering. Yeah,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and I've said this in the past, like other states
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: have got to be seeing stuff like this and saying,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: holy crap, what are they doing. In Vermont, they got
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: it figured out.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're lucky to have Phil who started this.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: I mean that's yeah, that's what it comes down to,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: is him, you know, stepping up and creating an event
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: like this that's grown, you know, and I think the
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: big piece, you know we were talking about before the
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: you know, we've raised eight hundred and fifteen thousand dollars
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: for heating assistance and for my eight hundred you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: and a goal. You know, we're getting close to that million.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: So come out, donate your tires, come to the tire sale.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: You know, we take just donations too.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Again, this is for eating assistance, So yeah, of course
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: she has a lot of great local organizations that you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: get this out to vermonitors in need. And yeah, you know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: i'd say now more than ever with everything going on
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: in the world, people people need to help. Yeah, so
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: it's a really good cause and you're helping your neighbors here.
• 11:31

  Speaker 2: he's frankly ever missed a year.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Well, and he'll be running the grill too, so you
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: know he he's always out on the grill cooking up
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: some burgers for everybody.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: It's great to see him out there.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: He is so talented on the grill. If you ever
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: see that guy cook a hot dog, I mean, it's unbelievable.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: He's he's a natural chef, he really is. Who else
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: will Phil be there?
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Phil shouldn't be there on He typically comes out on Saturday.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: I know we have some of his cabinets. Alex Ferrell
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: usually is there Commissioner Housing, which is great.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Think about Phil is that Governor Scott I should be
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: more respectful that I still think of him as Phil though,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: is that he doesn't show up with anything with the
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: white gloves on at all. No, he prefers to have
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: dirt under the fingernails. The guy rolls up his shirt
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: sleeves every single time he shows up an event and
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: gets involved and helped out.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he'll buy tires. He might be the one carrying
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: him helping you carry them to your car. Yeah, so
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: you know that's That's the cool thing is he shows
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: up and every year and.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: He gets the security detail carrying tires too.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll be behind him carrying carrying another four set
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: of tires.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Well crazy. What else I want to make sure that
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: we're hitting everything on what you've got here for notes.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are so many communities and people to
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: think there's volunteers yea that get involved with this.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: It gave me some pretty cool stats on volunteers actually,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: what you're saying on that. So we've had over one
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: hundred and twenty companies and organizations volunteer over the years
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: and resulting in over twenty five thousand volunteer hours and
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: that's eleven hundred volunteers contributing time. So you know, we're
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: constantly having people step step up. I know at the
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: site in Wilson, Running Dealer dot Com reached out saying, hey,
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: how do we get involved.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: In this event? You know, I know I'm missing some people,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: you know. Nice part.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I also stopped and picked up the Times Argus, which
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: is great. So this is today's right in the community news.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: You can find some more information about Wheels for Warmth.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: So that was a nice a nice fine love seeing
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: that getting out there to the community.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was STICKWOPI that was telling me
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: that this has garnered some attention beyond the region. Now
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: this is almost turned into like we've had some national
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: recognition on what we're doing here in this little, this
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: little Green Mountain state. Man, it's unreal. Yeah.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: We actually we have Kate at Green Up Vermont who's
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: also involved in the organization wheels because they tie together.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're everywhere pulling tires out of our rivers,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: of course on the sides of the road, so hey,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: how can we have an affordable way for Vermoners to
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: get rid of their tires?
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're not ending up in the river. So
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: she's she's done a great job.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: She's the one who connected me with Dealer dot Com
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: actually for getting them involved.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: So you know, it's nice to.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: See those two, you know, two things that really set
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Vermont apart coming together to make a bigger impact.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Kelton Bogaski is our guest this morning Wheels for Warmth,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: which is coming up on the twenty fifth, that's the
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: the sale day. The collection days are going to be
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: on the twenty third and twenty fourth in barry Stowe, Williston,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Linden and Pittsford. So the time to start thinking about
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: getting your tires together, whether they're they're junk or or
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: whether they're kind of on the margin, whether or not
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: they can be used or not. Bring them to one
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: of these collection points and they will tell you they will.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: They'll have dot officials there that are gonna let.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I mean you get rid of them.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you, I mean thank you for giving some
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: life to this as well and getting the word out
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: because that's you know, how we've made such a big
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: impact is you know, just like yourself, you've been involved
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: for years and you know, getting involved just helping us
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: get the word out. We really want this to be
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: a big, a big, big event where we can make
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: as big of an impact as possible and hopefully get
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: over a million dollars.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I mean that's yeah, or so close we're yeah, we're
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: within reach of that. You said eight hundred and fifteen
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars so far yep, yeap in nineteen years.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is this is year twenty.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, you could help us get over that million
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: million dollar mark and oh man, it's needed more than
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: now than ever two Again, it's you know, that's you
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: can't emphasize that enough. Where the money goes is, you know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: really it's a lot of people working hard for the
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: heating assistance for your fellow neighbors.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Here's here's the uh, here's like the absolute worst case scenario.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: You get the four tires loaded into your car, you
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: drive them over to the collection point, they have a
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: look at them, and they say, nope, uh, they're they're
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: not roadworthy. You throw twenty bucks into the Vermont Fuel
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Assistance program, and you get to drive home without those
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: tires in the trunk of your of your car or
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: the back seat or the back of you pick up
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: and you've you've saved that space at at your at
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: your home, and you've helped out the heating assistance program.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: That's worst case scenario.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's fantastic. And I think I just just
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: to mention the hours I was thinking.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we've done that, but at most
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: of the collection sites we do two to six pm,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: so we try to get a little bit of time
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: for people who are getting out of work later. But
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: I know at Stowe, the events field there and Caulkin
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Sand and Gravel, we do one to five and that's
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: just given us time to move the tires to the
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: tire sale. So trucking wise, what about Williston and Pittsford
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: two to six? For Wilston, Barry and Pittsford we do
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: two to six and that's just for the tire collection. Again,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: the tire sales starts. I don't know if I have that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Let's see right here eight am to twelve pm in
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Burry and Rutland.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Rutland one more time with that eight am.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Eight am to noon and all the tires go right
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: halfway through that at ten am they all go drop
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: down half price. So we really want to all the
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: good tires. We want someone to you know, walk away
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: with the good set tires that they can use.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: And you were telling me that that there's some guy
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: that is like, nope, I'm snagging all the tires that
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: are left.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, we you know, for the past few years, and
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: I'm hoping he buys him this year, buys all at
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: the end of the event. You know, he'll buy all
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: them for a bulk rate so that we can still
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: have all the tires go and get a second life
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: and then he'll sell them.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: That's something else.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Man. He approached us one year, he just gave up
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: one year at us and said, hey, would you be
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: willing to do this? And and again it's a good
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: you know, giving the second life to the tires is
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: really the goal, the second one of the goals of
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: this organization.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: So it's a it's a good good use for him.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Shout out to the UH to the to the Granite
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Museum right here in Barry, because ye haven't been there
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: that long. I mean it's only been what a couple
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: of years, I think.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they stepped up and gave us that incredible sight
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: to use for this event every year. So really, oh,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: it's I mean, it's it's a big site for that.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: You know, we have the parking.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I mean it is still the parking gets full, so
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: it's a good thing. We have ada out there, yeah,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: you know, directing people. But it's it's such a great
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: site and we're so grateful that they let us use
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: that site.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Twenty fifth that's a Saturday. Yes, always on a Saturday
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: for sale day.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Always on Saturday.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: What time do you think people start lining? Oh?
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: I always think.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: I get there at like five am, and there's already
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: a line at five am, and I'm getting there to
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: you know, get every help, get everything set up, and
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: it's it's pretty incredible to see. I was talking to
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: somebody and they're like, yeah, I got there. You know,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: I thought I was gonna be good. I got there
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: at five am and I couldn't believe how many people
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: are already there. You know, I got to get up
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: earlier next year, so it really is. You know, there's
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: a huge line. The second we opened the gates, people
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: flood right in. Try to find a good set of tires.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: We have them all organized by sizes, so hopefully people
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: can find them quicker. We do have people who can
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: help you out if you're not sure, Hey, this is
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: what my car is is the tires, we can look
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: it up, try to help you find a good set
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: of tires.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: So we have a lot of volunteers.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Usually the Norwich Women's ice hockey team comes out and
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: volunteers and they are incredible. They are dragging tires. They
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: are the hardest working people at the event.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Every year.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: We love having them involved, so it's it's always great
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: to see them out there bringing the tires, moving them around.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: They never use the wheel carts. They always got like
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: what two on either arm, So it's pretty pretty fun.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Insane. That's insane. Anyone else that that is that's out
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: there volunteering that you can think of?
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, I can't think of it at the moment. There
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: are so many organizations that get involved.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: So I wish I've seen the Scouts there too.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the Scouts get involved, and you know, every year,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: it's just I feel like it grows on who you know,
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: who wants to get involved and once people come the
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: first year, they have so much fun.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like, how do I do this every year?
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: How do I keep coming back?
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: It's amazing to see all of the vehicles there to
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: see all of these. I see trucks in there. I
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: see people just constantly moving tires around. No one is
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: standing around on their cell phones. I mean, there's just
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: no time for it. I mean, this isn't anything that
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: goes on all day long on the twenty fifth, I
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: mean from eight till noon, is it? And we're how
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: many times? How many tires do you think will move
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: between eight and noon? Just from Barry? I mean if
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: you had a.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Guess, I mean, just looking at the numbers, I mean
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: we've done you know, we've moved over a thousand you
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: know a year, you know, with the twenty seven thousand
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: good tires donated, so you know, hopefully hopefully a thousand
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: at each site. We're moving the tires, the good tires.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: And then you also have the eye department there. You know,
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: we talked about it cutting off the h the walls
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: of the tires so they can use them at a
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: on farms. So that's also a great you know, great
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: second use to some of those some of those tires.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're doing this right there on site, which is
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: so it's well smart. Yeah, they're they're like and that
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: just started a couple of years ago, just.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Started a couple of years ago.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: They take all the bad tires and you know, just
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: take the walls so that I think farms used to
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: use full tires, but now these are easier to stack
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: up when you're not using them, they still give you
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: the weight on top of your your piles that you need.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I've got tires out on my front lawn there for sale.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Pretty soon they're gonna they're probably going to go for free.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: And if they're still there on the on the twenty third,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: they're coming to you. Guys. I love that, you know,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I mean it's like, who doesn't you see tires everywhere
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: people is selling them.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: You know, you could write that off as a donation.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: If they're good tires, you can write that off for
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: you know, the value there of the donation that you're
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: making to to an organization that will give you a
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: donation slip right when you.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Drop them off. Sure says hey here you go. This

  Speaker 4: our people, whether it's the disposal of the tires, the
