San Antonio celebrates Texas Recycles Day

Saturday, November 14, is Texas Recycles Day. Residents, especially those who live in apartment complexes, looking for an easy way to dispose of gently used appliances, furniture, mattresses, clothing and electronic materials as well as all items that are accepted in the City's recycling program are encouraged to load up their items and bring them to Woodlawn Park, 1103 Cincinnati, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
 
The event, which is free, hopes to raise public awareness of the economic and environmental benefits of recycling. During the day-long festivities, visitors will have the opportunity to pick-up a variety of educational materials on recycling including information on grasscycling, water recycling and the benefits of not using plastic bags. On-site shredding will also be available at the event.
 
Composting classes will also be offered throughout the day. Individuals who attend a composting class will receive a free composting bin. Concessions will be available along with great entertainment.
