GREEN TEAM NEWS
SNEAKERS/ATHLETIC SHOES
Please consider recycling/repurposing your gently used sneakers and athletic shoes. The Township is partnering with the MORE Foundation and has a collection box in the Municipal Building. Since beginning this partnership the Township has filled three boxes.
Donating shoes keeps them out of the landfill. The proceeds from the shoes help MORE plant thousands of trees each year, which offsets carbon in the atmosphere.
