Phoenix Resident Wins $10,000 By Recycling Scrap

After years of recycling scrap metal, it finally paid off for Phoenix resident Pat Graham. He won $10,000 last Wednesday by participating in an annual incentive promotion by local recycling company Glendale Iron and Metal.
Graham, a local contractor, has been working in the industry for years and has been an avid recycler. He upholds the tradition with his son, whom together collects left over materials on and off the job, and other household scrap, and brings the items to Glendale Iron and Metal.
Glendale Iron and Metal began the $10,000 promotion in 2011 to act as an incentive for people to recycle and sell scrap material to them rather than to one of their competitors. Customers who brought in recyclable material received a loyalty card that validated their contributions. After 12 individual visits, the loyalty card permitted those to be entered in the drawing for $10,000. Only those who filled the punch card by the end of the calendar year were entered.
The morning of the drawing, Graham brought in a final piece of scrap which allowed him to fill his loyalty card and enter the contest. He was one of more than 300 participants in the drawing. With his winnings, Graham spent a great Valentine’s Day with his wife. He then split the $10,000 with his father, who is also his business partner, and his son who is currently in school. The winnings will help Graham and his family with finances.
“I enjoy doing business with Glendale Iron and Metal because of the convenience,” said Graham. “There is never a wait and they have good people working there that make it worthwhile.”
Graham will continue to recycle scrap at Glendale Iron and Metal. He believes the company has unbeatable service and finds unique ways to give back to the community. The company plans to host other incentives for its customers throughout the year.
