New Larger Capacity Recycling Totes
Those who enjoyed Penfield’s Fourth of July activities at Harris Whalen Park may have seen a new addition to the grounds -- new green and yellow recycling totes.
The addition of the totes grew out of the interest of the Energy and Environmental Advisory Committee (E&EAC) after observing the successful Penfield Little
League’s recycling program in partnership with Penfield Boy Scouts.
 |
Our new totes were donated by Waste Management as part of their ongoing effort to encourage and support recycling in the town and across the region. The
totes will be placed in all Town of Penfield parks and the cans, plastic/glass bottles will be recycled and kept out of landfills. |
This is one of many items the E&EAC is working on to promote responsible stewardship of the environment, reduce energy consumption, and provide public
education and awareness. Those items include: developing wind/solar policy; reduction in the use of chemicals/fertilizers; proper CFL disposal; energy audit
reviews; leaf disposal; and alternate work schedules.
