Exciting News! We've Completed the NexTrex Challenge for a Third Time!
Thanks to our community, we collected 2,600 pounds of soft plastics and earned three benches! You can find them in the library's entryway and the Community Garden at Bartlett Pond Park.
By popular demand, we’re signing up for a fourth challenge in partnership with Middle Island Civic! Celebrate with us and see how these benches will benefit our community spaces. Let's keep making a difference together!
For the fourth challenge, if our community can collect 1,000 pounds of soft plastic refuse in a year, we will earn another high-performance composite bench. Please place all plastic refuse in the designated box in the library. All items must be clean, dry, and free of food residue.
Accepted items include:
• Bread bags
• Produce bags
• Newspaper sleeves
• Salt and ice bags
• Grocery bags
• Case overwrap
• Bubble wrap
• Wood pellet bags
• Plastic shipping envelopes
• Dry cleaning bags
• Ziploc and other reclosable food storage bags
