E-cycle Drive is cancelled
We regret to inform you that we are suspending our spring and fall e-cycle drives until further notice for several reasons. Firstly, the MERF (Material Recovery Facility (Recycling Center) has commenced offering free electronic recycling events in both seasons. Secondly, there has been a notable increase in recycling costs. Lastly, sourcing volunteer assistance for Saturdays has become increasingly challenging. Dylan Koss and I extend our heartfelt appreciation to the community for their unwavering support of our e-cycle drives over the past 14 years.
Thank you, Cindy Solinsky
