Goodwill, Trinity Mission & Animal Welfare League

Old bedding is accepted at the Animal Welfare League.

They recycle all types of batteries and all Electric Bulbs including CFLs, Florescent (tubes as well), Incandescent and Halogen.

You can recycle all of those plastic bags here.

Americans use 60,000 plastic grocery bags every 5 SECONDS!
That’s equal to 12,000,000 barrels of oil each year!

MOST ARE NOT RECYCLED but end up in landfills, as litter and as deadly waste to fish and wildlife in our waterways.

Learn to wean yourself off plastic bags.
Say “Hold the Plastic” when just buying a few items.
Cloth bags can be used hundreds of times. Let’s make them a habit in our community!

Note: Every bit of clean food plastic packaging is recyclable.
You’ll be amazed when you start looking for it and saving it from the trash!
