Friends describe him as
Kind of a complicated guy at first glance, but once you get to know him he's really pretty flexible and accommodating. It may take a little more effort to figure him out, but once you do, you'll see he's a true blue friend.
I'm sorry, but I prefer things neat and tidy; if something's dirty, you wash it. You wouldn't put your dirty socks away, would you? I think not. Everything that can be washed should be washed and put in its place.

Best Advice: if a cap doesn’t have a recycle symbol on it, throw in the garbage. When it comes to caps, if in doubt, throw it out!
Best invention: turning plastic pop bottles into fleece clothing
Really into: aluminum, glass and plastics (1 through 7!)
Thumbs down to: Styrofoam

Future Dreams: that bow ties come back into everyday style
Favourite Saying: once a tin can, always a tin can

Recycling an aluminum can saves enough energy to run a television for almost 2 hours
-
Plastic pop bottles are made into t-shirts, carpet fibre, packaging and seatbelts

Reece Ikle Tips
Remember, Reece Ikle is a NEAT FREAK…all items must be clean and dry, all lids and caps must be removed and sorted appropriately.
Think Safety…broken glass should be sealed in a box and placed in/with the garbage.
