Important Announcements

CURRENT INFORMATION: go to our Facebook group "Waco Friends of the Climate." 1) Beginning Jan. 2025, our focus has been on resistance to Donald Trump, since his policies are our greatest threat to the climate. Thus, we are not having monthly meetings at this time. We hope to hold monthly meetings in the future. Visit our Facebook group for current activities, Waco Friends of the Climate. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1330231820335851 2) Our role in the resistance includes a weekly protest at the pedestrian bridge in Waco, Valley Mills Dr. & Bagby Avenue, each Sunday, 1:00pm-2:30pm. We began the protest in March 2025 and it has been carried on weekly for over one year. We provide huge, highly visible banners. Please join us.

STYROFOAM RECYCLING DAY: Saturday, August 17, 2019

Finally, a chance to recycle your dreaded styrofoam!














Since no styrofoam recycling is available in Waco, FOP/C has decided to offer this service free of charge on the 17th of this month.  The plan is to receive styrofoam at the large parking lot at the corner of Waco and Valley Mill Drives from 8am until 11am, and then drive the Tahoe to the Dart Container Corporation recycling drop off site in Waxahachie.  We ask that all our members support this drive by bringing your styrofoam to the drop-off site Saturday morning.  Please place your molded/shaped blocks in a bag and your food service containers and cups in a separate bag.  All items should be clean and rinsed.  Peanuts, lids and straws are not accepted.  

Come early – styrofoam will be accepted until the vehicle is full.  This will be a great opportunity to deal responsibly with this hard-to-recycle material.   If we collect a large volume of material, we may do this on a regular repeating basis. 

Please support this work by bringing your styrofoam to the parking lot Saturday morning--look for the white Tahoe SUV.
