Local Girl Scouts Project - Plastic Items to Recycled Bench – Ending Feb 1st
1,250lbs Have Been Collected
Miley and Aniela from Girl Scout Troop 50402 have far exceeded their goal! As part of their Girl Scout Citizen Science Investigator Take Action project, they collected plastic items all around Plumsted Township. The project is soon coming to a finish. February 1st is the end of plastic bag collection for Miley and Aniela. When they finish collecting the items they will not only be receiving another sustainable bench from Trex™, but they will also be helping the environment. Instead of all the plastic they are collecting being dumped into landfills, it is being recycled into a sustainable bench.
The bins around town will be removed from the locations Monday February 1st. You can still participate in this program this weekend by bringing all of your plastic bags to any of the locations listed below:
- New Egypt MarketPlace
- Plumsted Municipal Building
- New Egypt Post Office
- Big Woods Nursery
- The Plumsted Pharmacy
The plastic items being collected are: Grocery bags, Bread Bags, Bubble Wrap, Dry Cleaning bags, News paper Sleeves, Ice Bags, Plastic Shipping envelopes, Food storage bags, Cereal Bags, Case Wrap, Salt Bags, Pallet wrap and stretch film, wood pellet bags, & Produce bags. Please make sure that all items are DRY and FREE of food residue. Collection is through February 1, 2021.
