Recycling at the Church
The United Methodist Men host a recycling drive each first Saturday of the month, 9:00–10:30 am. (Second Saturday on a Holiday weekend).
The Men will receive at the church for recycling — newspapers, aluminum cans and plastic soda pop bottles (with CA redemption mark ONLY), glass bottles, and plastic milk containers marked with a number "2" in recycling arrows (HDPE). Please do not take other plastic items those should be put in your curbside recycling.
