Our Fort Collins, CO Neighborhood

We are a kind, respectful, inclusive neighborhood, working together to build community and reduce our ecological footprint.

Parkwood East has a No Waste Bin of 25 reusable dishes, cups and silverware that can be used at your gathering with family or friends.  The purpose of this Bin is to reduce the use of single use plastics that get thrown away, but really never go away.  They just break down into microplastics that pollute soil and water and end up in our oceans and our bodies.
 

To check out the (now global!) No Waste Event Bin, please go HERE to reserve the bin at least two days before your event. There is a $25 deposit, of which $20 is reimbursed when items are returned in the same condition they were picked up. If you would like FoCo Trash Mob to clean the items, we will keep the $25. We’re tracking how much single use plastic is kept out of landfills by using this bin!

Volunteer Opportunities

TGP Library: The Toy, Game, and Puzzle Library (located in the Foothills Mall) is always looking for donations and volunteers.

FoCo Trash Mob: Volunteer and/or participate in events with FoCo Trash Mob! We are the only group in NoCo that educates, legislates, and nudges corporations around SUPs (Single-Use-Plastics). You can get credit through VolunteerMatch.

Happy Holidays

to all of you from the Parkwood East Leadership Team
Mary H., Emily, Sara, Dug, Ann, Mary H. Elena, Alan, Maureen, Morgan, Ryan.  
And thanks to everyone who participates by joining our events and/or by being a kind neighbor.

Book Club: You can sign up for our book club by clicking here.

Veggie Share: Please put any extra veggies from your garden in a bag or box and leave them by your mailbox for others to pick up.

Neighborhood Activities: If you’d like to help with organizing a neighborhood event, please let us know and we can help you with marketing and logistics. If you know of a new neighbor moving into Parkwood East, please email Mary so that a member of our leadership team can drop off a welcome packet.
