Janaury Event Blows Away Previous Record!
Our recent plastics drive was a tremndous success. The community came out in record numbers for the event. Our collection numbers haven't been finalized but they should be close to rivaling our summer drives which is incredible. We would like to thank everyone for the incredible amount of support you show us by coming out to our events. S.A.V.E. will be hosting our next plastics drive at 1100 N Last Chance Gulch (behind the YMCA, adjacent to the parking lot). The event will run from March 9th through 12th, it will be open from 8A.M. - 6P.M. during that time. S.A.V.E. accepts type one and type 2 plastics at these events, click here for detailed examples and instructions for how to be prepared. We hope to see you out there!
