Join us at 7PM at Ruby Dee Park on Library Green for the final concert of the summer!

Mobile Shredder at City Hall Saturday, September 21

Shredding personal documents serves a double purpose: to recycle paper, and to protect sensitive information against identity theft, the fastest growing crime in the nation. Residents can bring up to four file-sized (10”x12”x15”) boxes of confidential papers per household. Remove all large binder clips and covers. Papers from businesses, institutions or commercial enterprises are not acceptable and will be rejected, as will any junk mail or newspapers.

Food scraps recycling drop-off sites open Monday, September 23

Food scraps are one of the largest components of trash sent to landfills and incinerators. However, food scraps are not trash; they are a resource that can be turned into useful compost. Recycling food scraps into compost captures their nutrients and energy and returns them to the environment.

Drop off your food scraps at one of two locations opening Monday, September 23: Pinebrook Tennis Center Parking Lot and D'Onofrio Park. And, click on the link below to learn how you can purchase a home food scraps collection kit- available at the Department of Public Works for $20- or enter a raffle to win one!

Finally, mark your calendars for a special fall afternoon event highlighting our sustainability efforts and partners: "Earth Day's Half Birthday" at the Pinebrook Tennis Center on October 22.
