More good news about SAUGUS WEEKLY RECYCLING
Lorna Carbone, Solid Waste/Recycling Coordinator
for the Town of Saugus announced a new component
of the Recycling Program. Residents can now use
any plastic barrel that is 32 gallons or smaller to put
out cans and plastic or glass bottles & jars for the
weekly recycling pick-up. Free stickers available at
the lower level of Town Hall, must be placed on the
barrels. It is also required that residents put out at
least one recycle bin so that it is obvious to the pick-up
crew that there are recycle items at one's stop.
Saugus residents can place unlimited recycling materials, properly
prepared for pick-up, at the curbside each week on their regular trash
collection days.

World Series Park News
GE Employees Could Make A Difference
for the World Series Park Building Fund
A long time Saugus resident who’s a General Electric retiree has inquired about
making a generous donation to the World Series Park Building Fund. She plans to
do so through the GE Matching Gifts Program. This program for current GE
employees, GE retirees and spouses of deceased retirees allows for GE to match
donations to non-profit 501(c)(3) charities. World Series Park qualifies as one such
non-profit organization. Construction of the World Series Park Building
will begin within the month. Test holes have been
dug, utility access locations have been decided and
funds have been raised and pledged that allows for
the start of the building.
