Event Monday at Lawrence Public Library promotes America Recycles Day

Lawrence leaders are hoping to provide people a recycling reminder next week.

Nov. 15, Monday, is America Recycles Day, and the city’s Waste Reduction and Recycling Division plans to have an outreach event at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the city will have a booth in the library providing information about recycling and offering prizes to people who participate.

The city received a $1,000 grant from the Kansas Organization of Recyclers to promote recycling during November.
