NASCAR recycling

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoff race at Dover International Speedway was last weekend and Waste Master Solutions proudly sponsored RCRracing, Ryan Newman and the No. 31 Waste Masters Chevrolet at the Monster Mile!

The weekend was full of many milestones: On Saturday, Ryan Blaney was the winner of the “Use Your Melon. Drive Sober 200” NASCAR XFINITY Series playoff race with Justin Allgaier and William Byron placing second and third, respectively. Kyle Busch beat out Chase Elliott by just 0.357 seconds and Elliott’s teammate, Jimmie Johnson, finished third in the “Apache Warrior 400 presented by Lucas Oil” Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Race on Sunday, October 1, 2017.

Waste Masters Solutions’ Hometown Hero Award for 2017 was presented to the Delaware State Police Mounted Patrol in a ceremony before the “Apache Warrior 400 presented by Lucas Oil” Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoff race at Dover International Speedway.

The honorees were introduced as part of Sunday’s pre-race activities and received a $2,017 check for the organization from Waste Masters Solutions; a Delaware based commercial waste management company that has strong roots within the community.

Established in 2012, the Delaware State Police Mounted Patrol began with three members and has served as a key outreach unit to communities and provided security to some of the most popular events in The First State.

The DSP Mounted Patrol has grown to include a full-time Trooper and 11 part-time riders and six horses that work approximately 115 events per year. The DSP Mounted Patrol also performs many community outreach appearances, such as visiting schools and businesses in all three Delaware counties throughout the year.

Congratulations to all involved. Waste Masters Solutions has partnered with Dover International Speedway, Dover Downs Hotel & Casino to provide recycling and waste reduction solutions since January 2014.

Don’t miss your chance to support several charitable causes at the 8^th Annual Monster Miles for a Cause Saturday, October 12. Activities include the Monster Mash Full and Half-Marathon that benefits the Wounded Warrior Project, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation 5K and Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition 8^th Annual One-Mile Fun Walk.

NASCAR is returning to Dover International Speedway for a weekend long tripleheader on May 12-15, 2016. NASCAR racing is one of America’s favorite spectator sports and this weekend promises to be an event to remember! Last year, Jimmie Johnson earned his 10th Cover victory. Which driver will make his mark on the Monster Mile this year?

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race will be Friday, May 13^th, the ‘Buckle Up 200’ presented by Click It or Ticket NASCAR XFINITY Series race will be Saturday, May 14^th and the ‘AAA 400 for Autism’ NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race will be Sunday, May 15^th.

While the main attraction for fans is the opportunity to watch the top drivers of the world battle on the ‘Monster Mile’ course, there are plenty of other family-fun things to do at the FanZone located just outside of Turn 4 of the track. The FanZone offers a number of activities all weekend long, such as rock climbing, driving simulators, live music and sampling.

This event is expected to create a large amount trash, but thanks to a partnership between the racetrack and Waste Master Solutions,a good portion of the refuse will be recycled. Color coded recycling bins are placed in prevalent locations around the speedway. This has made it more convenient and accessible for race fans and patrons to recycle.

Dover Speedway and Dover Downs Hotel and Casino’s central focus is on reducing its carbon footprint.

“We are proud to bring on Waste Master Solutions to manage our like-minded goal of protecting and preserving the environment by reducing our environmental impact and keeping otherwise recyclable material out of landfills,” said Ed Sutor, president and CEO of Dover Downs Hotel & Casino. – News Release

Waste Masters teams up with Dover Speedway and Dover Downs to do what they do best–help larger companies and organizations manage and reduce their solid waste production through innovative environmental services such as recycling, commercial and industrial waste solutions, concrete washout and porta pottys.

By reducing solid waste, Masterson says Dover International Speedway will not only increase recycling opportunities, but also provide an even more enjoyable experience for staff and visitors.

“We hope that we help them meet the goals of the people that come in and out of the casinos and the racetracks and other events there, by just having better brand awareness,” says Masterson.–WDEL
