Residents were given information regarding items accepted in curbside recycling bins and where to recycle items that are not approved for curbside recycling. Drivers stayed in their vehicles as volunteers unloaded items for recycling at each station. Additionally, community members were given the opportunity to participate in the Village Recycling Challenge. This year’s item is incandescent, compact fluorescent, and LED light bulbs. This friendly competition awards funds for scholarships to Villages with the highest participation.
