Saturday, April 25, 2009 In addition to many exhibits and activities, we'll be offering tours of our Recycling Center -- tour buses arrive / depart 850 Hungerford Drive every 15 minutes. Our celebration features two special drop-offs for Montgomery County residents! Have you been saving papers for the next community shred? We will have on-site shredding provided at no charge by Office Paper Systems (limit 3 paper bags or 1 office paper-sized box of paper per person). And, bring your unwanted jeans and denim clothing for recycling into insulation for houses in areas of need. The denim collection is a partnership between Cotton Incorporated and Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County ReStore, in collaboration with Amicus Green Building Center. -- posted by Susanne Thursday, April 02, 2009Spring cleaning for Montgomery County roads is underwayDo you know that our Montgomery County roads get a spring cleaning?
