City celebrates Texas Recycles Day
November 14
Let's recycle San Antonio! On Saturday,
November 14, the City's Solid Waste Management Department
(SWMD) will celebrate Texas Recycles Day from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at
Woodlawn Lake Park, 1103 Cincinnati.
Visitors will be able to receive information regarding the economic and
environmental benefits of recycling. They will also be the first to
experience the new recycling bins that will be located throughout
Woodlawn Lake Park as part of the new recycling pilot program
established by the City's Parks and Recreation Department in conjunction
with SWMD.
Individuals are invited to dispose of gently used appliances, furniture,
mattresses and clothing that they may have lying around their houses at
the event as well as all items that are accepted in the City's recycling
program. On-site shredding will also be available.
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.
Texas Recycles Day is free and for the entire family. For more
