That’s Broomfield Councilman Dennis McClosky giving the thumbs up at the Eco-Cycle ‘Hard to Recycle Round-Up’.

I was there with the Democrats Work volunteers that helped recycle over 17,000 pounds of electronics, 21 cubic yards of block foam, 125 lbs of plastic bags, and (yes, Johne) even a few old toilets!

Right now we are helping collect cans for a CANstruction event in Boulder. Check out these bogglingly amazing sculptures built out of donated canned food that won the national contest in past years. (The local works may be more modest, but who knows?)

Amongst the teams competing this year will be Team Shafroth, Team Polis, and Team Fitz-Gerald. The Boulder Dems are staging a drop off location for food donations. If you can donate cans or want to compete, you can find out more by clicking here.

And after the jump there is a past winner that I don’t even begin to understand how they pulled it off without glue. Rubber bands are allowed, but seriously, this is crazy good…
