Annual Survey Results

Educated others on composting and paper, plastic, and miscellaneous plastic recycling
“We placed a special box in our work areas and challenged people to guess how many pieces of miscellaneous plastic we could collect each month. It raised awareness about what miscellaneous plastics are, how they differ from other plastics, and how much we are able to save from the landfill. The closest guess won a prize.”
