NATIONAL RECYCLE DAY – NOVEMBER 15, 2008
LOCALLY KNOWN AS:
BORDER CITIES RECYCLE DAY

WHO: Keep El Paso Beautiful in partnership with Community
Scholars, El Paso Fire Department and Environmental
Services are coming together for Border Cities Recycle Day
and a cleaner El Paso!

WHEN: SATURDAY, November 15, 2008 – 7 am to 7 pm

WHERE: Neighborhood Fire Stations throughout El Paso

WHY: We are united and committed to working together towards a cleaner El Paso. On Saturday, November 15, 2008 our community will be celebrating Border Cities Recycle Day! In an effort to re-duce the use of plastic bags in our community, KEPB and our partners feel it is imperative to empower every shopper in El Paso with a reusable bag. So clean out your closets and bring those extra, gently used, reusable bags (anything but plastic) to one of the many neighborhood fire stations throughout El Paso. Drop them in the Blue Recycle Bins on display. All of the donated reusable bags will be donated back to community members in need of reusable bags at a Don’t Promote “BAG BEHAVIOR” event coming soon.
