RECYCLING UPDATE

Glass is no longer being accepted at the recycling trailer. Sorry, but it's heavy and it doesn't actually get recycled any more so we would rather use the space for more cardboard. This is what we currently recycle:- Cardboard, aluminum, tin cans, plastic #1 and #2. We do not take plastic that has contained automotive fluids or medecines and no caps or lids.

JULY BOARD MEETING

The July board meeting will not take place due to absent board members. Next meeting will be August 8th at 7pm at Terlingua Springs Market.

RECYCLING IS OPEN

The trailer is available at the moment. ( Saturday, June 23 ) It may be covered because of the chance of rain. Please check in with Terlingua Springs Market for access.

CHAMBER DUES

Annual dues to the Big Bend Chamber of Commerce are due by the first of next month
( July 1st) Watch for a renewal form in the mail.
