Come celebrate the upcoming Earth Day with CCPL, and learn about the many local resources available for recycling and disposal.

For years you've been told what can and can't go into recycling and in what condition, but do you really know for sure? What do you do with paper towels, plastic bags, pizza boxes, electronics, oil? We will help you sort fact from fiction by clearing out all the mess. We will end the program with a material sorting quiz. The first 10 attendees will receive a free Ponderosa pine seedling to plant!

Registration is not required.

If you have questions, please contact the Potomac Branch at 301-375-7375 or email potomacref@ccplonline.org.
