This Saturday, Feb. 11, BSA Troop 3000 from Birmingham United Methodist Church held a paint recycling event at their campground on the church grounds.

Despite the cold weather, the boys, joined by volunteers from the Milton Grows Green Committee (MGG), collected more than 3,500 cans of paint from more than 240 residents. That means more than 8 tons of paint were saved from landfills.
