United Methodist Church has had a recycling program for 15+ years.
United Methodists are strong advocates of environmental stewardship, and
this is one way we can help the whole community participate in the recycling
process.
Any proceeds we receive from
the recycling program go to the Youth Service Fund, which is money raised
by youth for youth in the Nebraska Conference. These funds help finance
youth mission trips and other worthwhile projects selected by the Conference
Youth Leadership Team.
Recycling trailers are located
in the west parking lot of the church as well additional bins for cardboard.
We ask that you follow these guidelines:
Only bring items that are
indicated on the recycling trailer. They include:
-
#1 and #2 plastics only, minus
all lids. Flatten larger jugs if possible. Do not put plastic
bags in with the items.
-
Newspapers, anything that comes
in the newspaper can be recycled with the newspaper.
-
Aluminum cans.
-
Tin cans.
-
All cardboard. Please
flattened out as much as possible. Please remove any packing materials
prior to drop-off. Brown paper grocery sacks may be included with
your cardboard.
The following items cannot
be recycled at this time:
DO NOT leave materials if the
trailer is full as this may contribute to litter in the surrounding neighborhood.
If the trailer is not in
the lot, it is being emptied and is only gone temporarily. We ask
that you bring your recycleables another day.
