NexTrex recycling program - Keep up the great work!
We have reached 350 lbs!
 
 If you are able to, please take the recycling to Weis in Kutztown. Clear bags to use for the recycling and a scale are available in the Taveren Clubroom. If it is small, check to see if it can fit in the recycling bin at the front of the store. If it is too big for that bin, please ask at customer service desk (before 8:00 pm) and they will unlock the gate behind the store for you to drop it off there. Please email or text your picture and the weight to Melissa Kirk or Laura McBride to get it recorded at NexTrex to count towards our 1000 lbs for the bench. If you are unable to drop off the plastic yourself, please bring it to a meeting.
