The Art of Recycling

On April 25, the “green smART project” unveiled eight artistically designed recycle bins on the steps of the Main Branch of the Lakewood Library. The bins were on display the Library steps for several weeks, and are now been placed in various locations along Detroit and Madison Avenues. Each recycle bin has been placed next to, or very near, an existing trash bin. The uniquely crafted recycle bins should be used for glass, plastic and cans. All other debris should be thrown into the regular trash bins.

Many thanks to GreenSmartGifts, Lakewood is Art, Local Girl Gallery, Alladin’s, Wobblefoot Gallery, Geigers, Ideas in Focus, Mary Ann Hastings and Associates, Nationwide Insurance and the Lakewood Observer for their sponsorships and efforts to the project a success.
