July Plastics Drive Shows Incredible Demand for Recycling

There was an incredible turnout for our July plastics drive. Each successive drive keeps collecting more plastic, even though we have now shifted to more frequent collections. The three bins which the city lent to us were all full within two days. We were able to hold out for the whole weekend, thanks to some Sunday morning ingenuity and a makeshift chicken-wire bin. Also, we'd like to send a big thank you to City-County Sanitation, who dropped off an extra bin midway through the collection. The totals are in: we collected nearly 12,000 lbs. pounds of plastic in 5 days. Thank you, Helena!
