LACONIA — The Green Sanctuary and Social Justice Committees of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia, as well as the Laconia/Gilford Lions Club, collected 1,007 pounds of soft plastics which filled 70 industrial size bags and 280 cubic feet of styrofoam. Additionally, 48 pounds of pet food also was donated.
The next collection event will be Saturday, July 27, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at the little white UU church at 172 Pleasant St. in Laconia.
Only hard Styrofoam products bearing a "#6" symbol will be accepted such as all size coolers, meat & produce trays, egg cartons, plates & cups, food clam shells or trays, coffee cups. Volunteers cannot accept bubble wrap or thin foam wrap, packing peanuts, soft or squishy or dirty foam, pipe insulation. All foam must be clean and dry.
At the same time, we will also hold another pet food collection benefiting the Community Action Program pantry.
