Saratoga Recycles Day, a key event of Sustainable Saratoga’s Zero Waste Committee, is an opportunity for the community to actively participate in minimizing household waste. Kelsey Trudell, Sustainable Saratoga’s Executive Director, says, “This event, along with our very successful Paint Collection Day held earlier this month, provides us the forum 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 our environment.”

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. There will be an additional $20 recycling fee per TV.
