Recycling at the church
You will find blue bins for recycling paper, such as bulletins, throughout the church. When you need to recycle water bottles, cans, and the like, you’ll find the recycling bins for glass and plastic in the church kitchen.
The recycling bins around the church are emptied into the recycling shed on the east side of the church for pickup by the city.
