Trex Plastics Challenge Update
Bench #9 has been installed by Green on Main. The Springfield Rotary Club collected 947 pounds of plastic film towards our goal of 1000 pounds of plastic film for the tenth recycled bench that will be given to Elm Hill School. To date, 8,091 pounds of plastic film (over 4 tons!) have been removed from the waste stream since we started this project in February of 2023, delivered to Shaw's Supermarket, and heading to Trex Company for recycling. Please continue to bring your plastic film to the Springfield Town Library. NOTE: We are in need of volunteers to help sort the plastic at the Library. For more info, contact Alan.
