Guilderland School District Wants You To Recycle With Them

"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle". Since my youth, those three words have come up again and again. The idea is a simple one: Make the most out of our earth, and the resources we're given.

That messaging has dropped off in the past few years, but recycling and environmental protection are still vital issues we need to focus on. Luckily, the Capital Region hasn't given up quite yet.

Recycling Extravaganza

The Guilderland Central School District is gearing up for their Biannual Recycling Extravaganza. This event takes place twice every year, and is intended to get the Capital Region community more focused on their recycling efforts.

The event will take place on Saturday, October 25th from 9a.m. to 1p.m. in the front parking lot at Farnsworth Middle School. Everyone is allowed to attend, both residents and non-residents of the GCSD. No drop-off fees will be charged, and no proof of residency is required to take part.
