The City of High Point and the High Point Market Authority will honor three showrooms for their handling of cardboard and recycling during the Fall Furniture Market.

On Friday March 8, 220 Elm, Coaster Company of America and Klaussner Home Furnishings will receive the Green Market Award, a new recognition in its first year.

A typical Market event generates over 300 tons of cardboard in addition to other recyclable material, all of which is recycled by the City. However, showrooms that comply with city guidelines help the city to ensure that the collection of recycling and trash runs smoothly during a very hectic and busy time for the Public Services Department.

220 Elm will receive the first award at 10 a.m., followed by an award presentation to Coaster Company of America at 10:20 a.m. The third award will be presented to Klaussner Home Furnishings at 10:40 a.m. This is the first year that the Green Award has been presented.
