With the hustle and bustle of holiday over-consumerism coming to a slow end many people will be tossing out the old for the new after December 25th. That coupled with the fact that many I.U. students have completed their finals and are packing up to head back home will ensure that the dumpsters and sidewalks will be over flowing with discarded treasures and unwanted items over the next week or two here in Bloomington. And although the forecast is for temperatures below 40 degrees, you will still be able to see the U.W.R project's purple and green bike trailer in the allies and byways of Bloomington's back streets over the course of the next week sorting through societies waste and reclaiming all of last years discarded Holiday offerings. Then there is the approaching New Year's celebrations with all the parties and discarded beer cans that should yield some easy revenue for the U.W.R.P. as well over the next few weeks.
The U.W.R.P. is still in grave need of bike trailers or child carrying bike trailers that could be used to construct additional cargo bike trailers for reclamation and deliveries. So please if you, or anyone you know, has an old child carrying bicycle trailer that is no longer being used consider donating it to the Urban Waste Reclamation Project.
U.W.R.P. is a locally based grassroots project aimed at the beautification of our city and the betterment of ALL individuals living here by developing and promoting economically feasible and environmentally friendly ways to recycle and reuse discarded items and resources for the benefit of our community as a whole.
