Recycle and Win!

[From the Library's newsletter]

This summer the Dayton Metro Library is partnering with the Montgomery County Solid Waste District to encourage area residents to recycle. “Our Summer Reading Clubs feature an environmental theme, and recycling is a huge part of that,” said Mimi Morris, Assistant Director of Branch and Extension Services for the library.

On Saturday, July 31, Montgomery County residents are invited to bring items for recycling to the South Transfer Station and enter to win some great “green” prizes. Grand prize is a battery-operated lawn mower, courtesy of the Regional Air Pollution Control Agency. The RAPCA is also donating a battery-operated blower and trimmer too!

Residents can bring items that are not accepted at curbside recycling including household electronics, batteries, used oil, household hazardous waste and more. Materials will be accepted from 9:00 a.m. - noon at the station, located at 1001 Encrete Lane in Moraine. Everyone who drops off materials will receive a discount coupon for the October Friends of the Library Booksale.
