America Recycles Day is Monday, November 15, and the City of Springfield Environmental Services is celebrating with some special events.
The public is invited to a virtual movie screening of “Microplastic Madness.” The documentary is part of the EnviroFlick Movie Series and is available for at-home viewing through November 17. The film’s director, Debby Lee Cohen, along with area water quality experts, will take part in a community conversation via Zoom on Thursday, November 18, at 7 p.m.
And the city will host Customer Appreciation at all of the city’s recycling centers on Friday, November 19, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be free giveaways while supplies last.
City officials also hope residents will check out the new Waste Wizard, a searchable online tool that connects citizens to recycling and donation options in Springfield.
