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.

Quarterly Free Drive-Thru STYROFOAM RECYCLING


--Sponsored by Waco Friends of the Climate
--SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, January 23, 2027, 9am-1pm
--PLEASE SAVE UP YOUR STYROFOAM RATHER THAN ADD TO THE LANDFILL. Useful products are made from recycled Styrofoam.
--Parking lot at intersection of Valley Mills and Waco Drives, near the street, in front of Ocean Buffet-- look for large UHaul trucks.
--In light of numerous citizen requests, we reinstituted drive-thru STYROFOAM RECYCLING, in which ALL types of Styrofoam are accepted, except peanuts. (Peanuts can not be recycled).
--Cobbs Recycling does accept some forms of styrofoam, but we accept ALL forms of styrofoam.
--Styrofoam should be relatively clean, with no obvious chunks of food. Please place tiny Styrofoam particles in a bag to prevent loss in wind.
--Pickup is available if one can not deliver Styrofoam to the collection site on Jan 23. For this service, email anorthc@aol.com
--This service is provided FREE by our volunteers. Donations are accepted to offset the cost of renting trucks, but are absolutely optional.
--Recycling Styrofoam helps keep our environment free of plastic pollution, and the light weight of Styrofoam makes it prone to spread by wind. Plastic pollution in water may injure many types of animals and may enter the human food chain. Microplastic has been found in multiple tissues in the human body and may cause damage. Recycling plastic lessens stress to the landfill. Recycled plastic has a much lower carbon footprint than newly made plastic--vital in this time of the climate crisis.
--Recycled Styrofoam is used to make outdoor furniture and other products.
--Many thanks for caring about our environment and climate.
--PICKUP: if you can not attend the drop off date of January 23, email before Jan. 23 for home pickup at anorthc@aol.com
