Hi Teton Valley Recyclers!

Just a few points of interest to share. We encourage you to come out next Saturday for the Community Clean-Up day. Let them know you are with TVCR as the organization with the most volunteers wins $500!

Spring Clean up Saturday May 15th
The Teton County Transfer Station is sponsoring a Spring Clean Up day this Saturday from 9am to 1pm. Sorted waste is FREE during these hours (up to 250 lbs). There are also specials to deposit refrigerators and freezers. Please see the add in the paper for more details. Residential customers only.

Community Clean-Up Day May 22
Silver Star is sponsoring a Community Clean-Up Day on May 22 from 11am - 1pm. Meet at Driggs City Hall. This is a time to get out with a small group and clean up our community. Volunteer groups are assigned small sections of town to pick up trash and recycling. TVCR will be there to help with the recycling. There will also be a Arbor Day Celebration with lunch and music on the Driggs City Hall Green. More details on Silver Star's Website. Let them know you are with TVCR when you volunteer! The organization with the most volunteers wins $500!

School Recycling Update
TVCR met with representatives from Voorhees, the School District and the County on Tuesday and the group has put in place all the pieces to start a recycling program at Teton High School next year. Voorhees deserves extra credit as they have volunteered a roll-off to the high school for the program. We hope the High School will be a pilot program for all public buildings in the County, and are excited to see a waste-reduction program get on its feet there! This is a great step for recycling in our community!
