On September 29th the Green Team is sponsoring another “hard to recycle item drop off day.” On that day
you can drop off any items listed below (sorted by the categories listed) to the church. Green Team members will then transport those items to the appropriate Recycling Center. We will have containers to drop the
respective items into. Sorting them in your own bags, cardboard boxes, etc. will help you and the Green
Team with the separation process. This is one way we can reduce the load on our landfills and get items
back into the useful cycle of our lives. One of the three R’s (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle). Mother Earth,
God’s creation, deserves that sort of care. Join us to make this happen.
