The Green Pioneers are students, volunteers, educators, and recycling pioneers who want to promote innovative efficient ways to
educate and develop recycling awareness techniques that are effective and sustainable. We strive to incorporate green habits into
everyday life in order to create a simple method that will have a true impact on the community with a specific focus in the green
zone in order to support the mission of The Greater New Bedford Regional Refuse District.
