Business has new owner
A 16-year-old Emporia business is now in the hands of its third owner. Gary Unruh is the new owner of the recycling business that began in 1992 when Keith Mushock decided to fulfill a need he perceived in the community.
After 13 years, Mushock sold the business to David Simon, who recently sold it to Unruh.
In a news release, the business said, “Gary recognizes the importance of this business and is committed to continuing the efforts that have preceded him.”
People who want information about the business may leave a message for Unruh at 343-3239.
