COLUMBUS – Employees at Golden Artist Colors, Inc. celebrated Earth Day 2008 by volunteering their time to help clean up garbage on the roadsides of Columbus. Golden, a company committed to supporting its local community, asked for employees to volunteer two hours of their time for this event. The company began Earth Day Clean Up in 2005 and each year it’s been done, there has been an increase in participation from staff. Of its 147 full-time employees, over 60% were able to participate in this event. This year, Bert Adams Disposal supported the cleanup with a donation of a 20 yard roll-off container. This will be used to transport the debris to the landfill for disposal.

“We have been given the ability to grow a successful company that can afford to offer its staff the opportunity to share its gifts of time, commitment and care to its neighbors,” said Golden CEO, Mark Golden. “Employee owners here at Golden have committed to a legacy that doing good things creates good business. It’s one more way for us to support our small community.”
