Trex Plastics Challenge Update
We collected 512 pounds of plastic film towards the 500 pounds of plastic film needed for our fourth bench. So, the bench for the Black River Action Team has been ordered. To date, 2,128 pounds of plastic film have been removed from the waste stream, delivered to Shaw's, and heading to Trex for recycling. Volunteers are needed to help sort the plastic film at the library. If you can volunteer some time, contact Sue Dowdell.
