WOODBURY 'S GREEN TEAM UPDATE

The Woodbury Green Team has earned 5 park benches made of TREX synthetic lumber.

For every 500 pounds of plastic bags we recycle TREX awards us a bench. That represents 2,500 pounds of plastic bags that ARE NOT in the landfill, or in the lake, or littering the street.


Look for the benches at Stuart St. Playground, and Woodbury Community Garden, and at the Library. You can help this cause by recycling your plastic shopping bags at Simpkins Cleaners, J&D Liquor, the Library or City Hall. We are grateful to TREX for supporting this effort. Thank you for recycling!
