Earth Day is April 22, but Earth Month is a monthlong emphasis on the planet, sustainability, and how you can make the world a better place. In celebration of Earth Month here are some useful recycling tips to help the environment: •
•
•
Recycle responsibly and keep it simple: stick to the basic items like paper, cardboard, bottles, jars, jugs, plastic containers and metal cans. Containers should be gently rinsed to remove liquids and food residue. Tip: Styrofoam and plastic bags are not accepted in your recycling bin. Use your green bin for compostable items such as yard trimmings, food scraps, and food-soiled items like paper towels, napkins, plates, cups, etc.
Use the Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 41149 Boyce Road for free drop-off of syringes, medication, batteries, paint, electronics, and other household hazardous waste items. For more information call 1.800.606.6606. See back page for Earth Day Event Information.
