Charles Clay

Charles Clay is the owner and proprietor of Alton Park Recycle, a program in the Alton Park neighborhood that creates new pallets from old pallets, along with other scrap lumber. Through this process, he is providing skill-based jobs to Alton Park residents who may not otherwise be able to find viable avenues for work.

Charles has been to two consecutive pallet pick-ups. During our talks, it's become clear that the full impact of his good work is hard to encapsulate in a few photographs and a paragraph. So we've made this little video. Enjoy.
