Bays Mountain Recycle

What to do with all your plastic grocery bags and/or used Ziplocs? Here's a
worthy cause!

Bays Mountain Park is excited to announce that we have contacted a company
that makes recycled outdoor furniture and we are going to be working in
conjunction with them to get free park benches! We need your help! It
takes 10,000 plastic shopping bags to make a park bench and we need you to
bring in as many as you can along with any of the other items listed below.
10 full 30-gallon yard bags makes a bench so start saving now!

You can leave the bags at the gatehouse or bring it up to the Nature Center
gift shop. If you're just dropping off bags, you shouldn't be charged
entrance.

What Can be Recycled:

Plastic Grocery Bags
Plastic department store bags
Newspaper sleeves
Dry-cleaning bags
Plastic Bread bags
Plastic Produce bags

Toilet paper/Paper towel over-wrap
Stretch film (no household saran wrap)
Zip lock bags

(All material must be clean, dry and free of food residue.)
