Thank you everyone who came out to support last Saturday's Recycling Day event held with our gracious partners Rock Bridge Community Church, Battery Recycling Made Easy, LLC, VOLUNTARY ACTION CENTER - Hand Up, Inc., and the wonderful volunteers. With everyone's help we were able to collect 24,300 lbs. of paint, 100 pairs of glasses, 489.5 lbs of electronics/batteries, and 2,250 lbs. of recyclable paper! KCGB cannot thank everyone enough for their support. Please keep an eye out for our next event, which will be published in local news publications and social media!
