PLASTIC FILM / WRAP COLLECTION ON-GOING
Thank you to everyone who has continued to collect plastic film/wrap!    We have receivedd one new park bench thanks to your efforts.   

 

Keep collecting because we are well on our way to a second new park bench!

 

Madison Borough council would like to add new park benches in Madison Park as part of our park improvement efforts.    As a way to save the borough the cost associated with the purchase of park benches, Madison Borough has joined the NexTrex Recycling Challenge, This challenge awards composite park benches to organizations that collect at least 1,000 pounds of recycled plastic file during a 12 month period.  This is where the borough needs YOUR help!
Starting immediately, we are asking residents to save the plastic items listed below and drop them off at collection boxes that have been placed at the Post Office, the Firehall and the side entrance of the Beatty-Rich Funeral Home.    
The more plastic we collect and turn in, the more benches we can get for our park.   Thank you so much for your help!!
