First National Bank of Olathe (FNBO) employees and
tenants welcomed a new addition to their parking lot
Wednesday morning, December 16; a big, purple
addition. Working efforts of FNBO secured the location
as a host to a Ripple Glass recycling bin, making it
one of three hosts in Shawnee.
"It is corporate responsibility," Chamber Ambassador
Robin Frazee, First National Bank of Olathe,
said. "More importantly, it is a small contribution for
the greener good."
First National Bank of Olathe is located at 15100 W.
67th St. in Shawnee. Dozens of local businesses and
municipalities will participate by hosting glass
recycling bins, and the public will be encouraged to
save and recycle used-glass food and beverage
containers at some 60 sites, strategically located
throughout the metro area. Other Ripple Glass hosts
in Shawnee include the City, 5800 King St.; Chamber
member Perceptive Software, 22701 W. 68th Terrace;
and Johnson County Landfill, 17955 Holliday Drive.
The Kansas City area sends approximately 80,000
tons of glass to landfills each year. Ripple Glass will
help Kansas City by providing a method to recycling
glass and multiple, convenient locations to do so. The
recycled glass is processed locally. A local business
is using it to produce fiberglass insulation - saving
money, lowering emissions and creating more energy-
efficient homes.
Through the City's and Deffenbaugh Industries',
Chamber member, partnerships with Ripple Glass,
the Shawnee community is able to work toward a
greener tomorrow. The Chamber would like to thank
its members for their efforts in sustainability. The
Chamber recognizes the importance in sustaining the
community and provides a member-value, recycling
program through its partnership with Deffenbaugh
Industries.
Sustain Shawnee provides Chamber members the
opportunity to commercially recycle at a discounted,
monthly rate as well as tips to creating a green-office
environment and keeping the community clean.

Agency; Brothers and Associates LLC; Farmers
Insurance - Joe Vohs Agency; First National Bank of
Olathe; Keller Williams Realty Legacy Partners, Inc.;
