Our Environmental Pledge to you Green Metroplex Service and Sales practices safe and sane battery recycling for the protection of the environment, as a public service. Every part, wire and battery and even the dirt on a used or worn out E-trike is recycled, especially battery materials like cadmium, lithium, lead or acid which are never sent to a solid waste landfill. What we ask of you: We encourage you to only and always charge your E-trike or other electric battery powered devices or vehicles ONLY AT NIGHT, when that practice will actually decrease your Carbon Footprint. We also encourage you to get and use recycling waste containers at home and at work. |

To stop rainwater
from causing

timbers to build a

We sloped at a slight
gradient away from our foundation to facilitate
drainage away from our porch and our home's
foundations. The gentle slope acts to obtain a
free source of clean rain-water for plants and
grass in the vicinity whenever the rains come.
Notice that we used newspapers to cover
the dirt as a substitute for heavy-duty plastic
to stop weed growth. We covered that with a
high grade redwood chip decorative ground
cover to hide the newspapers from view and
obtained a professional landscape finish.
