September Green Tip of the Month

Categories: Environment

September's Mountain Village Green Team Green Tip of the Month reminds you that you can currently recycle plastic film. EcoAction Partners is currently collecting grocery bags, packaging air pillows, ziplock bags, dry cleaning bags and other plastics free of resident and designated locations through November. To learn where and how to drop off plastics for recycling, please visit their website.

Mountain Village now has two drop-off locations for plastic recycling, at the TMVOA office and outside council chambers on the second floor of the Mountain Village Town Hall.

Small quantities, a grocery gab volume or smaller are collected at no charge, and larger quantities are charged at 25 cents per pound. EcoAction Partners' entire process can be found on their website.

The programming is ongoing through November 24, 2019, and will be assessed for permanent implementation at that time.
