The Benefit of Plastic Around Us—Yes, Really!

Thanks to the energy and persistence of Teddy Pulerwitz and her loyal band of gatherers, sorters, clippers, and transporters, all the soft plastic that we have dutifully been depositing in the designated receptacles (along with that which Teddy et al have been collecting from CVS and such) is about to hit the high mark!

If you’ve been watching the Soft Plastic Collection thermometer on the easel across from the Main Street bulletin board, you’ve seen it rise slowly but steadily. At the recent Residents Council meeting, Bob Abramovitz announced a new high as of December 8: 920 pounds!

Our reward once the magic 1000 pounds of soft plastic is reached (beyond getting rid of the soft plastic, that is): a new brand new bench (as pictured above)!

To help with that final 80 pounds (and beyond!), new and larger receptacles have replaced the littler ones:

Hey, the holidays are upon us. There will be an abundance of soft plastic coming our way. Load up those new bins!

And if you want to become part of Teddy’s Plastic Posse, just give her a call (x1902) or an email (teddypulerwitz@yahoo.com). She’d be delighted to have you join in.
