Albert Wisner Public Library used The Great Give Back 2021 to launch a six-month recycling program, which has subsequently become ongoing. Patrons are encouraged to use the receptacles in the AWPL entrance lobby to drop off the following:
Oral Care Products
All brands of used or empty toothpaste tubes and caps; toothbrushes, toothpaste cartons, toothbrush outer packaging and floss containers. Items collected in this category will be given to SUNY Orange to add to the college’s ongoing TerraCycle* collection program, which helps support SUNY Orange student programs.
Plastic Bags
Not all recyclers want plastic bags co-mingled with other recyclables. Instead, please drop off plastic bags such as those used for newspapers and produce, as well as other plastic bags printed with the triangular recycle symbol.
