Check out the new bench in front of Borough Hall
The Green Team collected over 500lbs of plastic in the TREX plastic recycling challenge and received this bench from TREX to mark the milestone. Thank you to all Garwood residents who recycled and a big thank you to Janine and Mark Koch who helmed this project. Also pictured: Green Team Liaison Jennifer Linken Blumenstock and Mayor Sara Todisco. Keep it up Garwood! Collection boxes are still located at Borough Hall, the Library and Kings.
About the TREX Recycling Challenge
Every year hundreds of schools across the nation compete against each other to recycle the most plastic film. In addition to providing a better understanding and appreciation for the importance of recycling, Trex will happily donate a high-performance composite bench to the winning school, and bestow honorary awards to every school that participates.
When you donate your unwanted plastic materials to Trex, not only are you helping to keep thousands of pounds of waste out of landfills, you’re also helping us to continue to create beautiful and environmentally responsible outdoor products. And, as an additional incentive, communities and schools that enroll in our recycling programs are eligible for high-performance, low-maintenance awards and prizes.
