LACONIA — The next soft plastics recycling collection effort will be held by the Laconia/Gilford Lions Club and the Green Sanctuary Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia. Weather permitting, volunteers will be curbside in front of the little white church at 172 Pleasant St., to gather donated clean soft dry plastics.
The team will be collecting plastic grocery bags, vegetable bags, bubble wrap, newspaper sleeves, bread bags, air packing bags, dry cleaning bags, wood pellet bags, ice bags, cereal box liners, blue and white Amazon bags, plastic films labeled with a #2 or #4 recycling symbol, and brand new from factory mattress plastic coverings.
Not accepted are: hard plastics; pet food bags; boat storage wrap covers; or crunchy snack bags.
All donated plastics are sent via the Gilford Hannaford’s delivery point to a Maine company to be repurposed as composite decking and outdoor deck furniture.
For more information call the church office at 603-524-6488.
