A few residents have asked, so we would like to remind everyone of the upcoming recycling events.

First, anyone with a Christmas tree to be recycled - here is the information:

Or - if you want to take that extra effort and use your tree to it's fullest:

Second, you should have received a flier in your mailbox regarding the new recycling efforts. Really the three biggest aspects of this are:

1. Your paper and plastics may be mixed together.

2. Plastic bags will NOT be accepted for recycling. You can still take your plastic bags to grocery stores like Giant for recycling purposes.

3. A whole list of new materials that can be taken for recycling!

If you have any questions feel free to contact us or the county and we'll do our best to get an answer to you.
