AmeriCorps members join together for 9/11 National Service and Remembrance day to further build capacity of the recycling programs. The members hosted a talk on "Why recycle Plastic" facilitated through the local Forest Service Green Team. The finale project of the week, connected local volunteers and college students for a city-limits wide curbside plastic pick-up. The first time ever our community produced several bales of plastic to recycle amounting to over 1000 pounds collected in one day. These efforts directly impacted our community and provided the statistics that generated enough recycled plastic for a collection bin. We now recycle glass, mixed paper, aluminum & steel, cardboard and PLASTIC. The committee even held a electronic waste recycling weekend. Environmental stewards at their best coming together to make the world we live in a greener, one step at a time.
