As a result, I’d like to push back a tiny bit by offering a few like-minded readers a free Support Stem Cell Research bumper sticker (10″ x 3″). If you would like one of these stickers, just be one of the first three people to comment below. I’ll follow-up privately with an email for your mailing address.

No more sorting, no more Saturday trips to the Recycling Center, no more excuses!

Sproutreach is pleased to have played a part in this exciting new program by creating the outreach materials recently mailed to city residents. Each of the city’s nearly 30,000 households was issued a packet containing a tri-fold brochure with the program’s guidelines and a tear-off collection schedule, a large sticker to label a recycling container, and a letter from the Mayor.

Our studio also created a website for the program, HaverhillRecycles.org. The site is designed to serve as an online guide to the program, a collection calendar, a resource for additional information, and a place for community feedback and interaction.

The new logo we designed for Haverhill Recycling, shown above, was donated to the project as an expression of our support for this important local initiative.

The website, as well as the printed outreach materials, were all funded by Team Haverhill —the driving force behind this expanded recycling initiative. Team Haverhill is an independent, volunteer action group dedicated to making Haverhill a better place to live, learn, work and play.

The donations that they collect and distribute keep babies safe, make children feel valued, and help families achieve self-sufficiency. By putting gently used baby equipment, toys, and clothing into the hands of deserving local families, they’re also keeping these items out of the landfill.

Grand Opening Celebration: Sat., June 12
