Saturday, November 1st | 9AM - 12PM

Join us for KKB’s America's Recycle Day event! Bring your electronics for recycling and paper for shredding! We will also be collecting metal scraps and appliances such as refrigerators and microwaves. Help us keep these items out of the landfill!

 

America Recycles Day, a Keep America Beautiful national initiative, is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States. Each year thousands of communities across the country participate by promoting environmental citizenship and taking action to increase and improve recycling in America. America Recycles Day educates people about the importance of recycling to our economy and environmental well-being, and helps motivate occasional recyclers to become “everyday” recyclers. Take a pledge today to recycle more here
