The company I work for had a truckload of cardboard that we wanted recycled. Here's the process: + Have everything separated before arriving. + Don't be a douche bag and let your items fly out of the pickup going down the highway.

So we New Mexicans know the bad rap that Children Youth & Family Department (CYFD) gets statewide,…read morebut hear me out... The location on Calle Sur Street in Hobbs, NM, was nothing but welcoming and friendly to me on 9.18.2025. My friend had posted a flyer about "Hold onto Hope 2025 Suitcase Drive." This applies to all NM CYFD offices statewide, however, I think it's a brilliant idea. The idea is that "every child deserves to carry their STORY in a bag of dignity not a trash bag." My daughters had these really small suitcases that they quickly grew out of, but I explained to the nice receptionist that they were gently used and perfect for babies, toddlers and younger children. Donations are still being accepted through October. Thank you to my local CYFD office for doing this! These kids matter so much!

The Lea County Annex building is my new favorite place to vote…read more It's a pretty seamless process to vote here... Park in the lot in the back. Also enter through the back side. You'll see signs that guide you into a rectangular room. Check in with the friendly staff member there. Find a desk with a chair and a black pen. Fill out your ballot. Turn it in & out the door you may go. The place is not busy at all for early primary ballot voting on 5/21/2024. I hope that's not an indication of more recent voter turnout...

My hometown Habitat for Humanity makes me proud!…read more Yesterday--May 8, 2024-- I called their office to inquire about how furniture donations work. A receptionist referred me over to her coordinator. The coordinator explained that as long as the furniture pieces had no damage or stains that most likely the items would be accepted. Then she had me text her some photos. After giving me their blessing that they would accept them they gathered my address and pick up information as I was not able to bring them to the store. I am not sure what their mile radius is, but it wouldn't hurt to ask if they would be able to pick items up for you. If you're able to drop off items, this large building in Hobbs, New Mexico is easy to find next to Tractor Supply. Today--May 9, 2024--when the two guys who arrived on time (11AM) to pick up my sofa and loveseat donations, they were very cordial and mentioned that the set I was donating was very nice. I hope somebody will appreciate them as much as I did. Please donate or volunteer for Habitat: https://www.hobbshabitat.org/about-us

Sheri's House of Hope is a non-profit organization in Lea County, New Mexico, that supports "women…read moreand children survivors of domestic abuse." Their Thrifty Boutique is located on Turner Street five blocks from the police station. When another donation drop-off center had a sign on their door that they were no longer accepting donations for 2022, I decided to see if Sheri's was available. Prior to this day, I had never been there. The ladies who were working here on 12/9/2022 when I dropped off donations were welcoming and friendly. Most of the items are women's and children's clothes and shoes, but I saw jewelry, girls' hair bows, and a plethora of other items. From now on, I most likely will be bringing my items worth donating to Sheri's - especially after reading about Sheri and her mother's efforts to change law enforcement mindset about victims of domestic violence. Under no circumstances should anyone - female or male - be a victim of domestic abuse! Please help make others aware of this tragic nonsense by donating & encouraging others to donate to Sheri's.

My bosses requested that I hire a local company for graphics on our plain company trucks…read more I went with Awesome Graphics out of Hobbs, NM, and am mostly pleased with the results. They offer... + screen printed & embroidered apparel + custom signs + banners + promotional products (including koozies, drink ware, pet gear, & much more) + printed & cut vinyl decals & stickers. My first step back in Januaray 2023 was to gather information about the whole process. I didn't pick up where I left off until July. The graphic designer, Brittany, was friendly and easy to work with. At the time, I didn't know what questions I needed answers to as this was the first project of this kind that I had ever worked on. We wanted decals on the back passenger windows that would allow one to see out of the vehicles from inside. We also needed my office/mobile phone number on the back end sides of each truck. Additionally, each truck needed its unit number on the tail gate. The design looks good. The actual vinyl on the window is good until you get up close then you can see jagged cuts around the edges. I'm not too concerned about it though unless it starts peeling. All of the proofs were approved or declined through email. The program they use for this is mostly user-friendly. Our small business currently has a fleet of only 4 work trucks, but we also have several closed and open trailers that may potentially need graphics in the future. Half of the estimate was due at the time of signing the work contract. The other half is due after the order is complete. They accept checks, plastic cards, and online payments. The other staff member & the owner - Tonya & Lauren - have been great to work with, accommodating our crazy schedule including the missed appointment one of my bosses had when he fell ill with the flu. The only concerns I have are 1) that some of the window vinyl has bubbles in them still and 2) they duplicated one of the unit numbers are the back of two trucks even though the proofs showed them correctly. I let them know about this and there still has been no communication about this in over a week. TIPS + free quotes + lead time is 2+ weeks
