Recycling star: Times Ten Cellars

It killed Kert Platner to throw away hundreds of perfectly recyclable wine bottles every week when he first opened Times Ten Cellars on Prospect Avenue in 2005. But that was his only option at the time; the City of Dallas did not offer a way for businesses to easily recycle.

“There really wasn’t anyone doing recycling out there when we first opened,” he says. “For the first three years, we were throwing away every bottle we opened. It was terrible.”

Then Recycle Revolution launched in 2008 with the goal of improving green options for businesses across North Texas. Times Ten Cellars was one of the first to sign on for the new service, and today it has a Dumpster exclusively dedicated to wine bottles, which is diligently picked up weekly, keeping about 3,000 wine bottles a month out of the local landfill.

“It’s completely full, and it’s only wine bottles,” Platner says. “Obviously, that’s not free. You might think so because they make money off the recycling. But we pay for that [recycling bin].”

It was a worthwhile expense, Platner says. He and partner Rob Wilson are committed to being good stewards of the planet.

Lakehill Preparatory School

Leading to Success. 2720 Hillside Dr., Dallas 75214 / 214.826.2931 / lakehillprep.org

Kindergarten through Grade 12 - Lakehill Preparatory School takes the word preparatory in its name very seriously. Throughout a student’s academic career, Lakehill builds an educational program that achieves its goal of enabling graduates to attend the finest, most rigorous universities of choice. Lakehill combines a robust, college-preparatory curriculum with opportunities for personal growth, individual enrichment, and community involvement. From kindergarten through high school, every Lakehill student is encouraged to strive, challenged to succeed, and inspired to excel.

“That’s the way we grew up, in small towns where you conserve things,” Platner says. “For us, it’s a matter of principle and a matter of philosophy. This is important.”

That philosophy includes other green business practices. Now with a new kitchen, the restaurant is considering its options for composting, but it already recycles its cooking oils. When it comes to cardboard, the staff individually breaks down all of the business’ boxes, stacks them in a truck and transports it to Garland to be recycled every week — all at the winery’s expense.

“You simply can’t throw all of that away,” Platner says. “It’s shocking how much already ends up in landfills, we don’t want to add to that any more than we have to.”—EMILY CHARRIER
