Starlight Workshop Recycling Project

Environmental Issues, Recycling

For those of you who may not have heard, the Starlight Workshop
(Starlight Enterprises Incorporated or SEI) at 638 Commercial Avenue SW
in New Philadelphia is now collecting all types of plastic for a
recycling project/effort (not just plastic types 1&2 that the local
curbside programs will take, but ALL plastic, including the plastic
grocery baggies).

 

Plastics accepted can be most anything: plastic
wraps, shrink wrap, bubble-wrap, CD cases, plastic toys, rinsed plastic
spoons/forks, yogurt/pudding cups, `Lean Cuisine’-type meal trays,
plastic bottles (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MOTOR OIL BOTTLES/CONTAINERS) ,
milk/laundry detergent bottles, even fast-food plastic
cups/lids/container s!


***Please note that the SEI WORKSHOP, NOT THE STARLIGHT SCHOOL is the
collection site for the plastic, so please
do not take items to the
Starlight School (which is located on Church Ave.)


ALL PLASTIC ITEMS MUST BE RINSED THOROUGHLY BEFORE BEING BROUGHT IN FOR THE COLLECTION; THE WORKSHOP WILL NOT BE CLEANING THE PLASTIC ITEMS.


Items collected will then be taken to a facility that will reuse the
plastic to make new recycled plastic products for resale.


For those of you who do not have curbside pickup of recycling in your
town/area, this is a great opportunity to drop off your plastic for
recycling! Items may be dropped off during regular business hours
(7:30am to 3:30pm at the rear of the SEI workshop at the large back
dock door
; simply ring the bell, and someone will come to the door to
take your items to the collection bin.
(Please do not leave items
laying outside to avoid debris being blown around or scattered by
animals.)


If you have any questions, please feel free to email and I will try
to answer any questions you may have.
