On September 21, 2024, the Green Team will participate in Town Square at the annual Hopewell Harvest Fair (rain date September 28) from 9:45 to 4:00. The event is held in the fields and parking lot at Hopewell Elementary School on Princeton Ave. Please come to our booth to learn about reducing the amount of single-use plastic and about recycling scrap metal. And kids can play our Plinko game “Plink the Plastic” to win prizes.
This year a Sustainability Sponsor, Dandelion Wishes, is funding a water station – so remember to bring your refillable containers! Wallop Water’s trailer bar triple-filters and chills water which is dispensed by a bank of spigots.
Returning to the Harvest Fair is One Compost Can with their bins to collect food waste and other organic material (such as lollipop sticks and paper soiled by food). TerraCycle, too, will be on hand to divert hard-to-recycle products like coffee cup lids, plastic utensils and clamshell food containers. Standard yellow bins for Mercer County’s recycling program will be available to collect aluminum cans, #1 and #2 plastics, and regular paper/cardboard. Let’s strive to make it a zero-waste event!
