Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the recycling bin... 🦈

Greasy pizza boxes, food scraps, and leftover takeout can contaminate otherwise recyclable materials.

Scrape, empty, and keep food and liquids out of your recycling. Your local recycling program may accept clean portions of cardboard pizza boxes, but check your local guidelines first!

Join us this Saturday to help improve St Stephens Park!
Volunteers will help refresh and enhance the park’s garden through weeding and planting, along with trimming and pruning in the dog park area. Come out and enjoy being outside, gardening, and completing a hands-on project that will make a visible difference in the park.

Let’s give St. Stephens Park some love! 🌿

Join us Saturday, October 17, from 9–11:30 a.m. for a morning of hands-on stewardship at the park. We’ll be working on environmental revitalization and scenic landscape enhancement projects to help care for this community space.

No special skills are needed—we’ll provide the tools, supplies and guidance. Wear long sleeves, long pants and closed-toe shoes, and come ready to get a little dirty!
