Past Events May 2012. Success! Our efforts, especially those of Green Teamer Pat Conaway, paid off: Wayland's public spaces and ball fields have adopted new, blue recycling bins next to the existing green trash bins. Read about it in the Patch and the Town Crier. The Green Team met with the Board of Public Works on Monday, April 30, 2012, to stress the continued need for recycling pickup at our fields and parks. Soon after the issue was resolved and we'll have a recycling program! Read the article in the Patch for more details. |
