In our neck of the woods, as well as many others, back to school means back to organized sports for many of our kids. I was happy to notice last weekend at our local soccer fields, that the park has now obtained recycling containers!
Many of these waste and recycling containers were placed throughout the park and even at many of the soccer fields where my kids play. It’s such an awesome idea to get kids and families to recycle where they play. Teaching kids about the stewardship of the earth and their environment is an easy task, but parents just need the right tools to give them a great example of how to do it.
Many companies are now marketing “dress-up” recycle bins that look great, enhance the natural environment in which they are placed, and of course, serve a necessary purpose in their locales. The users of these containers also find it easy and convenient to recycle while they are not at home.
Whether the recycling receptacles are designed using recycled plastic lumber such as Fibrex’s Envirodesign Series or made from metal like the Stadium Series, the public truly appreciates having modern, functional recycling containers in which to place their used recyclables.
What better place to recycle than at the park!
