County Commissioners
unveil new community outreach trailer with customized video games about importance
of environmental protection and recycling
SHREWSBURY BOROUGH, NJ – The Monmouth County Board
of County Commissioners were proud to unveil a new community outreach trailer
that highlights the importance of environmental protection and recycling during
an event at the Shrewsbury Borough School on March 31.
“Today, we’re unveiling a one-of-a-kind recycling education
trailer, right here in Monmouth County. And let me tell you, this is not your
average trailer. This is a fully interactive, video game-based learning
experience designed to make learning about recycling fun, interactive, and
unforgettable,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “Inside this
mobile unit are six gaming stations, allowing multiple students to participate
at the same time. Each station features custom-designed games that teach what
can and cannot be recycled, why recycling matters and how small everyday
actions can make a big difference in protecting our planet.”
The trailer can be requested for school visits and community
events throughout the County.
“We can’t wait to see this become a favorite not just at
Monmouth County schools, but at fairs, Earth Day celebrations, and National
Night Out events all across our community,” continued Commissioner Director
Arnone. “Schools and community groups are invited to reach out to the Monmouth
County Recycling Coordinator at educationrecyclingtrailer@co.monmouth.nj.us to bring this experience to their next event.”
“We are honored have our County Commissioners and council
members here today,” said Brent MacConnell, superintendent and principal of the
Shrewsbury Borough School. “This is a full circle moment for us in Shrewsbury
because the science teacher in the middle school has worked with the County
recycling programs for many years, so we are no strangers to their assistance
in teaching our students the value of recycling and earth science.”
The unveiling was live-streamed and can be viewed in its
entirety on the Monmouth County Government’s Facebook and YouTube Channel.
