The recycling committee has reached out to a number of leagues in town to encourage more recycling at recreational areas. Over the past couple of years, the committee has been increasing its recycling capabilities as funding has allowed. We anticipate bringing recycling containers to the new improved Bulgarmarsh field over the next season. This should complete our coverage of recreational areas in town.
This past year, we collected over 80 55- gallon bags of bottles and cans and at roughly 25 lbs per bag that translates to nearly a ton of material that was diverted from the landfill.
By having recycling available at recreational areas and with the support of league officials and coaches to encourage recycling we our setting an example to our youngsters of the importance of recycling that will not only promote more recycling in community but also at home.
