Air Cycle Adopts A Road
Friday, June 29, 2012
Late last year, spearheaded by Senior Account Executive Joe Day, Air Cycle joined the local Adopt-A-Road program, adopting a portion of Interstate 53 in our home town of Lisle, IL.
And two clean-ups later, this well-traveled stretch is looking better than ever!
The Adopt-A-Road program aims to "promote environmental and ecological awareness within the Village, as well as community involvement," themes echoed in Air Cycle's
Core Value of Environmental Stewardship in which we "strive to care for our environment and enable others to do the same."

EasyPak™ Ad, Explained
Wednesday, June 13, 2012
If you've never noticed before, take a closer look the next time you see an advertisement for EasyPak™...what do you see? Anything a little different? Although it may not seem immediately obvious, hidden in the ad are the two hands of a clock as shadows, emphasizing that it's
time to go green!
The award-winning ad was designed a couple of years ago by one of our friends at
DevBridge, a Chicago web development company, and is a fun way to introduce the EasyPak™ program.
Here's another fun
facility-related ad...wonder what managing this building would be like!
Re-Introducing...
Monday, June 11, 2012
A key part of Air Cycle's identity is building strong customer relationships. Thinking about that recently, I realized that though I've been blogging for Air Cycle at LampRecycling.com for almost two years, I've never taken the time to properly introduce myself! My name is Daniel Krall, and I'm a Project Coordinator in Marketing. I am lead blogger, and write many of the materials that appear on LampRecycling.com as well as contribute to web design, product development, customer care programs, graphic art...you get the idea, a bit of everything!
I'd love to talk with you about facility management, recycling, and your experience with LampRecycling.com, and I invite you to comment on blog posts, offer suggestions, and connect with me and our company at
Facebook.com/AirCycleCorp,
Twitter.com/AirCycleCorp, and
LinkedIn.com/company/Air-Cycle-Corporation. You can also email me directly at dan@lamprecycling.com.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
