We're a little over a month into our recycling challenge! Last month we collected 40lbs of plastic out of the 1,000lbs we need. That being said, keep bringing in your plastic! We only have 960lbs left to go. Drop your plastic off at: Worship on Sunday mornings, My Turn North in Livingston, or the Livingston United Methodist Church on Thursday afternoons.
