Green Team Updates
In early November, The Green Team took a field trip to deliver cell phone drop boxes and to post notices telling community members where to take unwanted cell phones. Cell phone drop boxes are now located at Mattheessens 4th of July and Stay Fit Studio, as well as the MISS front office. Cell phones can be used, and working. In a few months, the boxes will be collected and sent to Absolute Recycling, a company that sends off the working cell phones to people in need, or, they will be recycled properly. In addition, The Green Team receives a small stipend per cell phone. Please spread the word about where your friends, neighbors, co-workers, and you can responsibly dispose of unwanted cell phones.
Please stop by the R4 Fair (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Rot) Saturday, November 14, 12:00 – 3:00, at the Key West High School. The Green Team will hold a bake sale exhibiting as little waste as possible, while selling baked goods. There’s a lot to do and see, including a “kids swap”. Kids can bring toys, books, and clothing to barter and trade with other kids. Check out the following website for more information:

FYI: After Thanksgiving, The Green Team will hold meetings on Mondays, from 3:00 – 4:00.
