Roscoe Recycling Builds Eco-Friendly Networks In Ohio City

Building Networks For Sustainability In Ohio City, Ohio 

Pictured here are Barbara and Roscoe Ashby, mother and son trash pickers. Lisa Braun, Executive Director of Ohio City Power, met Barbara and Roscoe during St. Paul's Community Church's regular outreach hours in Ohio City, Cleveland, Ohio.

After striking up a conversation with Barbara and hearing the fascinating history of her trade and how she was shown the ropes by her father and listening to the pride in Barbara and Roscoe's voices about hard work, no shame and no handouts, Lisa thought of a way people could help. 

Ohio City Power Partners Collaborate In Re-Cycling Pipeline 

The Federated Church in Chagrin Falls, Ohio is a core partner to Ohio City Power. For several years, The Federated Church's Larry Trace and his crew have loaded up the van and trailer for John Bourisseau to transport all of the goods from the outdoor storage area to the St. Paul's Thrift Shop in Ohio City, Ohio. 

Drop Off Your Recyclables! 

Recycle your cans by placing them in black trash bags marked "For St. Paul's" and bring them to either The Federated Church rear door for contributions at 76 Bell Street if you live near Chagrin Falls, Ohio (John has agreed to drive down the cans too!) or, to St. Paul's Community Church if you live in the vicinity of Cleveland, Ohio's near west side. Roscoe and his mother will pick up the cans at St. Paul's and take them to the local scrapping company. 

Make a donation to support the efforts of Barbara and Rosco who make their living from scrapping and keep neighborhoods clean, tidy and eco-friendly!

Help the environment and your hardworking neighborhood friends at St. Paul's!
