ELKHART, IN (July 22, 2019) --- As a response to a growing desire in northern Indiana and southern Michigan, Borden Waste-Away Service, Inc. is now offering Zero Waste services for special events. This Zero Waste service is available to both public and private events and Borden Waste-Away will be making its debut and the 2019 EnviroFest in Elkhart this August.
