“Last year we collected hundreds of pieces of sports equipment and were able to find them all new homes,” says PleasantvilleRECYCLES Chair Dan Turner. “It was a win–win–win. Some residents were able to get rid of unwanted items cluttering their houses, and others were able to pick up just what they needed without spending a dime. And we were able to keep a lot of items out of the waste stream. We hope to do even better this year.”
PleasantvilleRECYCLES is a group of Pleasantville residents eager to improve and expand recycling in our community. It works to increase residents’ use of existing recycling programs through education and outreach; to enhance the village’s current programs; and to identify and develop new waste reduction, reuse, and recycling initiatives. Check www.pleasantvillerecycles.org and follow the group on their Facebook page for information on these events and on recycling in general.
