Here's something awesome to share! The Corona's at Freshwater saw a community need and decided to do something about it. From their GoFundMe:
Guffey is a small community that is located in the heart of Colorado and its members are passionate about recycling and reuse, and being responsible humans on our planet. Unfortunately no waste company will bring recycling dumpsters to our community because we are so far out and the surrounding communities (25+ miles) will charge for dropping of recycling goods.
We have found a recycling facility that does not charge for the drop off of materials (approximately 35 miles), and have some people willing to drive to that facility but we need a trailer for separated items for the recycling. We have found a trailer ($4250) that will allow residents to drop recycling materials at a single location 24/7, and will allow us to take these materials to the recycling facility.
We are wanting to create this program for our community, as well as wanting to get our local community charter school (40 students) involved in recycling since they are the future of this planet and we ALL need to do what we can to help it.
We asked them recently what the status was on getting the trailer, and this is what they replied:
"We have received the funds for the trailer and are waiting on shipping. We are leaving the go fund me page up to continue with funds for maintenance, insurance etc while we get our non-profit created to allow further funds for the maintenance."
They are currently at $2,000 of the $4,750 needed to get the trailer, insurance, and nonprofit organization created. If you'd like to kick in and help their project get going, please drop a donation off at their restaurant or on the GoFundMe page. Thank you!!
