In early January, Goodwill Manasota president Donn Githens was elected to the executive board of the Florida Recycling Partnership Foundation (FRPF). Githens—who is representing Goodwill Manasota and the Florida Goodwill Association in this role—will serve a two-year term as secretary.

Goodwill Manasota recycles approximately 80 percent of what the organization collects; its ultimate goal is to recycle 100 percent and be at zero waste.
