To date, 8,962 pounds of plastic film (close to 4.5 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.
