Waste Management Joins New England Patriots and United Healthcare to Build a Playground for Blackstone Valley Prep

Volunteers from Waste Management joined more than 200 members of the Cumberland community, and the New England Patriots to help build a new playground at the Blackstone Valley Prep’s (BVP) Elementary School 3.

Waste Management volunteers Sherri Gonzalez and Jessica Volaitis rolled up their sleeves to help construct the new play space designed to give the more than 400 K – 4th-graders a place to enjoy safe and healthy activity. In July, students at BVP held a “Design Day” where they were able to help design the new 3,000-square foot playground.

“It was great to see everything come together,” said Gonzalez. “With 200+ volunteers working through the rain to see the project through, it was an unforgettable experience. Waste Management was honored to partner with our customer, the Blackstone Valley Prep School in Cumberland RI, giving back to the local communities in which we serve.”
