Recognizing our Champions of Recycling
Old Lyme’s Solid Waste & Recycling Committee welcomes town residents to stop by the Thank You reception for TREX volunteers and other local Champions of Recycling TONIGHT, Dec. 8, from 4 – 6 pm, in the Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library Community Room. Come enjoy holiday treats, get ideas of how you can reduce your household waste over the holidays and all year, and pick up a recycling reminder bookmark created by LOL High School freshman students. Help us thank to the parents who help Lyme-Old Lyme Schools students compete in the annual TREX Challenge. Region 18 schools have participated in the contest for many years, keeping plastic bags out of the waste stream and earning awards for pounds of plastic collected. Students bring recyclable plastic films to the schools, the adults weigh and deliver these to Big Y, a TREX collection point, and the plastic is turned in to composite outdoor furniture, decking and other uses.
