As part of their cost-cutting and recycling program they used recycled materials in eighty percent of the miniature houses, synthetic snowman figures, and Christmas trinkets found in the Christmas Village in front of the BCC’s main building.
Recycled materials used in this village were used soda tins and caps, paper cups, empty wine and water bottles, paper, tarpaulins, lumber and plywood, sawdust, plates, tissue holders, styrofoam containers and other boxes, oil cans, wires, and even construction debris and fallen pine cones, tree barks, and branches.
