On Saturday, March 3rd, 2012 a group of volunteers helped install the first recycling bins in Rincon at the Marina and at Steps beach. Two bins were installed at each beach and the chapter will be working with the Municipality of Rincon to monitor the effectiveness of this beach-side recycling program. Alex, a local high school student, cleaned, painted, and prepared the barrels that were used in this effort to fulfill his community service hours necessary to graduate this spring. Great job Alex! The chapter would like to thank all the volunteers that came out and helped install the recycling bins!
