Online shopping helps us maintain social distance while preparing for the season’s festivities. You can recycle right by folding cardboard boxes before putting them out for recycling. Also, do NOT put Styrofoam, film plastics, or bubble wrap in your recycling bin. Take film plastics to drop-off locations in our area for recycling. To find a drop-off location visit https://ocrra.org/how-do-i-get-rid-of/plastic-bags/ #RecycleRightNY
