500 pounds of plastic earn a resting place on the Avenue

Posted

Bohemian Pink and Threadwell recycled more than 500 pounds of clear plastic over the last 30 days, earning a free Trex bench as part of the Trex Recycling Challenge.

“We are starting a new challenge today and have a goal of collecting 500 [additional] pounds in the next 30 days!”  said Monika Schermer, owner of Bohemian Pink. “We can do it with community support.”

And they plan to keep going. Schermer and Molly Ellis, of Threadwell, are trying for more benches, which they plan to donate to the Avenue. They’re asking Chestnut Hillers to please bring clear plastic recycling to their stores Threadwell and/or Bohemian Pink over the next 30 days.

“That will help us to earn the next  bench for Chestnut Hill,” Ellis said.
