Build a Better Block Macomb unveils park recycled cap benches & picnic table Linda Lee Blaine, BBB Macomb USA Today Netwrk. MACOMB — Macomb’s public spaces will be receiving six new benches and a youth-sized picnic table thanks to a community wide initiative spearheaded by Build a Better Block Macomb. The benches are created by Green Tree Plastics in Evansville, Indiana (https://www.greentreeplastics.com/) from plastic caps and lids that are otherwise not recyclable. The response to the call for recycled caps was tremendous with many local organizations, businesses, and individuals collecting caps. Due to this initiative, over 2,000 pounds of plastic have been diverted from the landfill. Two benches were donated to the community in 2020 and are located at the Macomb Public Library and the WIU Horn Field Campus.
