This year has been a busy summer for IGAP (Indian General Assistance Program). We’ve been recycling: tin, aluminum, #1 plastics, light bulbs, foam products, batteries, and glass.
Interns have also been hauling trash to the burner and landfill. Fewnia, Taty, Sim, and Dolly learned how to work in the water plant. The work was to check the chlorine and treat the water that comes from the river into our community buildings. Right now we are working on clearing the roads of overgrown trees throughout the village. We are getting a new recycling center in the future that will be located at the landfill and it will be made out of connex. We would also like to remind you to separate your trash from the recycling. We do not recycle plastic wrapping, like chip bags, or any other types of trash. We only recycle #1 plastics and aluminum cans, an example is soda cans. The other recyclables items are batteries, glass, tin, and foam.
