Bags To Benches – NEW PROJECT!
2024 Lions Go Green, improving our environment with this program, “Bags To Benches”. We’ll be collecting dry, clean, clear, soft plastic items.
What can be recycled: plastic grocery bags, Ziploc food storage bags, cereal bags, newspaper sleeves, water bottle case wrapping, wood pallet wraps, produce bags, bubble wrap, ice bags, bread bags, toilet paper clear outer wrap. OUR CHALLENGE PERIOD is 3/25/2024-3/25/2025 (one year), to collect 1,000 pounds – we can do this!
Start saving and collecting clear plastic items! Bring to a club meeting or email/text Lion Nancy. If you have any questions, let her know.
