"We have a record amount of T Vs and paint." The event grows every year, and GCSW had stepped up advertising this year, be- cause they'd consistently hear "when are you going to have that," in the weeks after the event. "Hopefully we're getting the word out, and since we do it spring and fall, people look for it," Binhack said. Paul Delore, TMMI envi- ronmental engineer, called the event great for the com- munity. Toyota employees also have additional time to come Friday night, so it can work for team members regardless of shift. "Toyota is very environmen- tally conscious. It's a good out- reach activity to make sure stuff doesn't end up in the landfills," he said. Charles Barnard and Mark Turner loaded up items at the end of Hazardous Waste Day around noon on Saturday, at Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Indiana's Medical Center.
