Recycle the present, save the future

This is a site dedicated to a sustainable Sonoma and a sustainable World. It originated with Melody Montero suggesting we needed to provide people with information on recycling and reusing materials to prevent waste disposal.

Melody happens to be the wife of Tom Boylan, the founder of the Boylan Point Agency. Prior to her entering the world of Real Estate, she worked as a recycling coordinator for a Northern California refuse company. While working at converting waste makers into recyclers she thought of The Virtual Dump. The site was created and has been updated and refreshed by the Boylan Point Agency to keep the subject relevant.

We urge you to share the link with others who would rather recycle for a cleaner future for generations to come. If you have an idea to improve this site, we would love to hear it. If you have a link you would like to add to the site, please contact us.

ABOUT US

Melody Montero

“I spent a few years as a commercial recycler working for a Northern California refuse company and it opened my eyes to how great a problem we face when it comes to our overflowing landfills. This was my inspiration for creating a site where you can find out how to do your part toward recycling and reusing the Earth’s valuable resources.

This site is a labor of love and affords me no financial return. Just knowing that you have been here and that you found information on how to help reclaim our world is riches enough.

I’m always looking for fresh information and welcome any opportunities to share links with other relevant sites. The links provided are here for informational purposes only and are not necessarily endorsed by myself. Any interaction with the linked sites is up to you.”
