Recycling help

So far the church has collected about 60 pounds of the plastic towards the bench goal.
Plastic bags and film of all sizes will be collected until next February, but it must be kept clean and dry.
So, grab a large plastic bag and fill it up with your grocery bags, dry cleaning bags, Ziploc bags of all sizes, bread bags (turn inside out to dump out the bread crumbs), plastic wrap taken from cases of water, toilet paper and paper towels, shrink wrap and bubble wrap. Once your bag is filled it can be dropped off to Donna who lives near the Yarnell UM Church. Call Donna first at 814-880-9450 to make arrangements so that she can collect your bags and place them in a dry area.
