On February 22, 2020, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) promoted soft plastic bag and film recycling at the McCaffrey’s in Princeton (301 N Harrison St). It is a continuing effort for the GPA students to put their influence on the local community since their last public speech to the West Windsor Council on October 15, 2019 to support an ordinance proposed to reduce the usage of plastic bags.
Recycling has become as common today as taking out the trash. But not all items can recycle easily. Most of the soft plastic bags and film still end up in the landfill unless we intentionally separate and collect them for special recycling treatment.
Since January, the GPA conservation team has been collecting all of those soft plastic items into large plastic bags at homes, and will have them delivered to McCaffrey’s, ShopRite, and Target Stores regularly for efficient recycling.
Participants (2 hours for all): Sarah Yan, Erick Yan, Cassie Tammy Wang, Steven Chi, Andy Chi, Elizabeth Ma, Donna Nagorny, Yugong Ismay Wang, Fengqi Wen, Angelina Liu, Samuel Xiangcheng Ying, Fangyi Chen, Steven Li, Kathie Wang, and Amber Yu.
