You may have noticed the change in the trash bins in the Fellowship Hall. They're reflecting our work to better handle our trash and recycling at the parish. Here's how it works.
- One large blue bin for general recycling. Please look at the posters we have that display what Fairfax County can and cannot take. Notably, we cannot recycle plastic bags in Fairfax County. Failure to follow their guidelines means that it will be rejected and placed in a landfill. Let's work together to avoid that.
- One purple bin for recycling glass. Place glass containers used to prepare Fellowship Hour, or you can even bring your glass containers from home. We have several volunteers who take the glass to the designated glass recycling bins that are all over the county.
- One large trash can for all the regular trash. All the other items go here that can't go into the blue or purple recycling bins.
We are looking into ways to start composting again, and will let you know when we get it set up.
We are also collecting all aluminum cans and taking them to a recycling center that pays us for them. It is not a lot of money, but if you want to help, you can bring soda cans from home and we will add them to our bags. It's a simple way to help the environment and earn some money!
