Birchleggings Club/Birkie Green Race-Bib Recycling and Landfill Tour

Put your Birkie Green commitment into action as we prepare several hundred extra Birkie and Korte race bibs for recycling. We will remove the timing chips from the bibs so they can be accepted by our new recycling provider. Before we begin working on the bibs, we will have a tour of Republic Services Lake Area Landfill in Sarona, WI.

Event update: After the landfill tour the Birchleggings Club will provide a free box lunch for participants. Contact Paul (612-810-4664) by July 15th if you have special dietary needs. Work on the bibs begins after lunch.
