All Call for Recycling!
All call for plastic newspaper bags. Rather than placing the bags which contain your Early Bird or Advocate in the trash…please pass them along to the Toddler Room to use for diaper disposal. They are the perfect size for this task and a great way to recycle! You are welcome to pass along your bags during drop-off or pick up times at our Central location. Happy Recycling!
