RECYCLING DAY – SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1 - - - The Valmeyer Village recycling curbside pickup program continues.  Thanks to the Clovertown 4-H Club and the Valmeyer High School Student Council for continuing this valuable service to the community.  Last week the groups began to include plastics with the regular twice-monthly pickup.  They will pick up TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 PLASTICS along with other recyclable items on the first and third Saturday of every month.  These plastic items include milk jugs, detergent containers, soda bottles, etc.  You can tell what type of plastic item each is by looking at the bottom of the container.  Each item will contain the three-arrow recycling symbol with a number in the middle – a number 1 or 2.  This indicates the type plastic.  Please make sure that your plastic items have been rinsed thoroughly before including them with your curbside pickup items.  Other items that can be recycled are aluminum cans, tin cans, newspapers and glass of all colors.  Please have your recycle items at the curb by 8:00 a.m. on Saturday.

 

Don’t forget to leave your catalogs and other paper items in the large recycle bins on the School parking lot.  Money earned from this recycling benefits the classes at Valmeyer School.
