Litter Letter recognizes Columbia recycling

PRIDE in Columbia, PA

Columbia Borough launched their Litter Letter Project in the Spring of 2015 to use the concept with the hope to inspire the "PRIDE" in Columbia residents and increase awareness of the need to recycle. The PRIDE Litter Letters were displayed at Columbia River Park all summer where the Borough collected ten (10)  32 gallon bags of recycled items, (1) 32 gallon bag of only cans  and (2) 32 gallon bags of trash.

A special thank you to "Butcher" along with Chris Bongart and Chas Snyder, of Garage Boyz Powder Coating, who donated, created and constructed the 5-foot tall letters out of rebar and chicken wire for
​the county.
