*In the event of rain, this program will still happen - the truck will be outside in the parking lot, and the games and crafts will take place inside the program room.
See how a REAL recycling truck works up close, play recycling games, and make a birdhouse out of recycled materials on the Weaver Library Lawn on Tuesday, July 23 at 2pm.
Mega Disposal will be parking an actual recycling truck in the library parking lot—a truck that you may have seen driving down your street in East Providence! Take a close look at the truck, touch it, and watch it in action as it demonstrates grabbing a recycling bin and emptying the contents into the back. You may even get to talk to a recycling truck driver to learn all about their job and what they have experienced.
You will also learn some fun facts about recycling in Rhode Island and test your knowledge by playing recycling games to see who will be the winner.
After that, use markers and stickers to design and decorate your very own bird feeder made out of a plastic bottle and other recycled materials.
