On Saturday, April 25th, the Town of Orangetown is hosting its first Recycling Fair. The purpose of the day is to increase awareness of the three “R’s” Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Location: Orangetown Highway Department, 119 Route 303, Orangeburg 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine
Rockland Freecycle(TM) will be in attendance representing “reuse.” Members are invited to bring small, lightweight items they no longer use, and take items left by others.
