To the editor:

Those of us who get to go to the China Transfer Station – for sure!

I’ve recently had the pleasure to make several trips to the China Transfer Station.  I had several loads of recyclable paper and
cardboard to unload.  Not going there often, I wasn’t 100 percent sure what to do.  But before I even was out of the car, there were staff handy by, not just to greet me but help me with the boxes and boxes of stuff I had.  Not only did they let me know where to put which things, but they helped me unload and were smiling the whole time.  They made it so pleasant!

There are a lot of hard things in our world these days to cope with. People sharing a smile and some kindness, though, can make such a difference.  Imagine if more of us did just a little of that every day.  My husband usually takes care of the recycling and trash, but I may want to take care of it in the future given how nice a visit to the Alder Park Road is – thanks to the China Transfer Station Staff.  We are lucky to have them.
