Get Involved With the Green Committee


Meetings are normally held on the second Wednesday of every month, 12:00pm at the GLAA Office

Host the Cans for the Cause Barrel!

  • Get your residents involved in recycling as well as raising money for a good cause! The Green Committee will bring you the Cans for the Cause barrel to keep in your clubhouse for one month. Throughout that month, have your residents, staff, and maintenance personnel bring in their aluminum cans. These cans are then recycled to raise money for the American Cancer Society. If you’re interested in hosting the barrel for one month, contact the Green Committee chair Darcy Everett at darcy@bgpride.org.
-          We have collected over 1,200 cans so far!

-          Congratulations to the apartment communities that have collected the most cans …
