More and more companies and organizations are moving towards using “green”, eco-friendly, recycled or recyclable awards and recognition products.

There are many different kinds of plaques created from recycled news print, sunflower hulls, re-used wood chips, recycled glass, etc. Enough new ideas with large selection and lots of choices for being environmentally concious with recognition programs.

This movement is growing as organizations become aware of the importance of using recognition products that are classic and environmentally safe.

After 20 years of accepting old trophies and awards for recycling, we are now offering them for sale to support the Trophy Recycling Program. Boxes arrive from all over the country with trophies and awards everyday. People come with van loads, and travel far distances to donate their old treasures.

Since our facility is getting filled, and our recyclers can’t keep up, we need to start moving box loads out. You can help support your local charities by purchasing these recycled awards, and help us continue the recycling program by telling your local non-profits.

Recently one of our customers conducted a test with 3 types of mugs to see which would hold the heat longer. We found it VERY insightful and thought you might want to hear about it.

Glass Mug- held the heat for 15 minutes.

Ceramic Mug- held the heat for 25 minutes.

Corn Plastic Mug- held the heat for 1 hour.

Not only is Corn Plastic Biodegradable, it’s also made in America.

The Trophy Recycling Program

Total Awards & Promotions officially announces it’s Trophy Recycling Program to benefit Madison area charities in need.

We hear almost every day of folks that have dozens of trophies collecting dust and they don’t want to just throw them away; they’d rather make a useful contribution to others.

With the launch of their Trophy Recycling Program, Total Awards & Promotions encourages the community to donate their old trophies, plaques & awards to be donated back to non-profit organizations and community groups in need. They will recycle the parts that are useful and re-use trophies that are still functional.

What: Donate your gently used Trophies, Awards, and Medals to be Recycled, Reused and Regifted by local area charities. For items that are not reusable, they will recycle the parts.
