If you can’t read or don’t see a number on a plastic container, When in doubt, throw it out.

Green Food Containers are not to be recycled. They are sterilized and reused. Please return them by placing them in the bins marked for that purpose in the Center.

You can deposit clean, dry plastic bags at the Center. The Recycling group will deliver them to the recycling bin at a local supermarket

Leave a bag or take a bag. There’s now a box at the Center entrance next to the umbrella rack and another box at the downstairs entrance where you can leave any extra reusable shopping bags so that someone else might benefit. Or, you can grab one on your way into the Center if you need one. Reusable bags help reduce overall waste and avoid pollution of our environment by plastic bags.

Plant Containers and Garden Debris

Plant Containers: Take plant containers to Parking Lot 6. Stack them to the left of the large shed. Remove soil and fit similar sized containers upside down on top of each other. No plant labels or trash. Containers will be taken by a volunteer resident to be recycled.
Garden Debris:  Recycle garden debris for composting. Put the debris in the brown bags stored in the AFSC shed in parking lot 6 and made available by the horticulture area representatives. Separate and bundle woody material.
