Recycling Schedule & Program at the Park

Recycle Group

You may have noticed the recycling bins in the park.  As part of our "Going Green" program, we have started a new volunteer and park run recycling program here at our beautiful park and are in need a few more volunteers to help collect and sort the recyclables.  We currently have a number of active members involved, but we could use a few more to ensure that each person only has to do one collection/sorting per month.  It takes about 2 hours or so to do a collection and sorting.

Already, this program (underway for over a year now) has helped us divert several tons of recyclable materials from going into the landfill and has saved the park many dollars related to waste hauling expenses.  Friends and the park have partnered with "A n J Recycling Service" in support of this very worthwhile effort.
