About

Our Mission:

Some of our events include a Bike Rodeo (Bring your bike, helmet‚ and a parent for permission), birdhouse building, paper and bead making. Free on-site recycling facilities will help keep personal documents, CD’s, used sneakers, eyeglasses and other electronics out of the waste stream and turn them around to be reused or recycled.
