Getting more people to recycle

The Marlborough Coaltion is partnering with Bridging the Gap to help get our recycling numbers increased. Right now, less than 15% of Marlborough homes recycle, which contributes to our illegal dumping problem.

Part of our strategy involves a door-to-door canvassing campaign to talk directly to neighbors about recycling and how to get a recycling bin if they do not have one. We need VOLUNTEERS from the community to help, starting THIS SATURDAY.

I realize this is extremely short notice, however, if you are available at 1:00 pm today, please come to the Community Center at 8200 Paseo to meet about this project. If you can't make the meeting today, and want to be involved, please contact Leslie Alford at (cell) 816-739-2023 and she will tell you where to meet her. You must be 18 and older to participate.
Thanks for helping make Marlborough a better place to live and work.
