Successful Styrofoam Collection!
Thanks to everyone for contributing to the successful Hanover/Norwich Styrofoam/Lights collection on Saturday, January 25, 2025!
Intrepid volunteers including teens from Youth in Action and the Hanover High School Environmental Club, nonagenarians from Kendal, and all ages in-between braved the frigid temperature to get the job done! Through their efforts, they took in 253 loads brought by car and walk-ins.
Styrofoam Recycling
In collaboration with the The Norwich Solid Waste Committee, Sustainable Hanover’s Waste Reduction/Recycling Team held its second annual Styrofoam Collection on January 27, 2024 at the Richmond Middle School. It was, by many measures, a great success.
Styrofoam Collection at Kendal at Hanover
We at Kendal began participating last year in the Styrofoam collection events conducted by Sustainable Lebanon and Lebanon Rotary, and by Sustainable Hanover.
That worked out well for those first three foam collection events, but we soon discovered that the word was out, and deposits kept coming.
We had become a victim of our own success!
First Hanover Styrofoam Recycling A Great Success!
Over twenty volunteers, including six from Hanover’s Rotary Club, helped collect a whole lot of styrofoam at Hanover’s first styrofoam recycling event.
