Athens Collection Event Upcycles Medical Supplies

Volunteers were at the Athens Community Center on Saturday to receive donations for the Medical Supplies Collection Event. A total of 45 cars stopped by to drop off enough material to fill six 4x4x4-foot Gaylord boxes in addition to a medical bed and a patient lift. Some materials were broken down for recycling on the spot. For more information about Medical Supplies Collection events and other Zero Waste initiatives, contact Ed Newman at ed@ruralaction.org.
