PLASTIC COLLECTION FOR A BENCH
The Committee is currently partnering with the Public Service Committee on a Recycle Beyond the Bag Project. This project involves the collection of plastic recyclable items with a goal to collect enough recyclables to receive a free Trex bench to donate. The Ruritan Club has collected and delivered, as of the first of July, about 417 pounds. Remember our Goal is 500 pounds! WE CAN DO THIS!
