News from Our Environmental Committee | |
Thanks to you, we kept 1172 lbs of old holiday lights out of trash bins. This tops our last year total of 718 lbs! Holiday lights should NOT go in your curbside recycling. These “tanglers” get wrapped around recycling equipment and jam the screens at the processor. Great job to everyone who made the trip to our recycling containers this holiday season! | |
