Our Mission
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.
