Sunrise Residents Get a Boost to Help Recycle

by 10/19/07 No Comments

The Leominster Champion features a story on an assisted living community in Massachusetts that has partnered with a paper recycling company to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association.

The Sunrise Assisted Living Center has raised $50 so far, in a program that originally started with residents wanting to do something to “help the environment.” Fiore Trucking found out about the program and offered to buy the paper and cardboard being recycled.
