Customer Service Representative Amber Empson added that the bank also donates used printer cartridges to the Humane Society and newspapers to Precious Friends.<\/p>\n

Mayor McMillan congratulated the employees on their hard work and dedication to the Program and asked if these green practices were also taking place at home. Mrs. Empson confirmed the employees have increased recycling at home and occasionally bring their recycling into work for disposal.<\/p>\n
