We are pleased to let you know that a Recycling/Organics Collection Program is once again in place this year. We would like to personally thank Barbara Frensch and her community volunteers for their continued support and efforts in making this a waste responsible event.
Please support recycling by bringing
all your waste to the recycling tents.
Organics includes all food, bones & paper waste, like the GreenCart program!

*Recycling 1 pop can saves the equivalent energy of having a t.v. or computer on for 3 hours.
*Recycling 1 glass bottle saves the equivalent energy of having a 100 watt light bulb on for 4 hours. (instead of manufacturing from our limited natural resources)
*Glass & aluminum can be recycled indefinitely without losing its quality.
*Organics in landfills create methane gas, but composting does not.
*Methane gas is 21 times worse than CO2, so improve air quality by supporting GreenCart.
