Saratoga Recycles Day is an opportunity for the community to actively participate in minimizing household waste, providing citizen education in the process. Kelsey Trudell, Sustainable Saratoga’s Executive Director, says, “This event, along with our very successful Paint Collection Day last month, provides us the opportunity to partner with other local organizations to collect household waste for reuse or recycling. We view this as a great service to the community. And new this year, we’re excited to have Adirondack Trust Company as a sponsor.”
Sustainable Saratoga and its partners will accept many household items, including children’s & adult books, textbooks, DVDs & CDs, video games, clothing & textiles, scrap metal, eyeglasses, hearing aids, musical instruments, cell phones and chargers, adult bicycles, refrigerants, small appliances, and electronics.
