Have you ever wondered which plastics are actually recyclable in our area?
Learn how to Recycle Right with Impact Earth! The Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association invites the public to attend a recycling audit class on April 23rd from 1-3 pm at the Hurley Building in Canandaigua.
Workshop attendees are encouraged to BYOR (Bring Your Own Recycling) – bring a bag of their own household recyclables. Experts from Impact Earth will help us sort through our household plastics, paper, and other items and will educate us on what types of products are truly recyclable. Don’t be shy – bring it all! The knowledge gained will help us be better stewards of our household waste. Discussion on zero waste and sustainable products will also be a part of the event.
Workshop Details:
- Bring a bag of your own recyclables and garbage to sort through for the workshop
- Bring rubber gloves if you would like them for sorting
- Impact Earth will also educate attendees on sustainable household products and have some available for purchase
Admission is free to the public and registration is required: https://www.canandaigualakeassoc.org/event/learn-how-to-recycle-with-impact-earth/
Microplastics are a growing water-quality concern across the world. Much research is being conducted to evaluate what levels of microplastics are accumulating in our water bodies, as well as the bioaccumulation of aquatic species like fish. One thing you can do to help keep plastic out of our environment is recycling right. When plastic is recycled, it repurposes for a new product, thus contributing to a circular economy.
