Annual Regional Recycling Fest/Event!

Recycle Your Reusables is the annual, regional recycling day for hard-to-recycle items. It's a local way to keep hundreds of tons of material from waste streams. Vendors re-purpose materials of value in ways that support underserved communities and boost our local economy.  This year, Recycle Your Reusables will be Saturday, Oct 21!  Please help spread the word throughout the region!
