Recycle Bin

Thank you to all who are bringing their paper for recycling. The money that we received from this project is donated to the Interfaith Food Pantry each month. There is one thing that we ask, please when the bins are full, do not put the paper outside along the container. Many times we have had to go through the neighbors’ yard to pick up the paper that was blown away. Thank you for your help in this matter.
