This recycling drop-off site is located at the Adams Recreation Center.
Revenue earned from the sale of recyclables dropped off at Park and Recreation Center recycling stations directly benefits the centers. Funding from this program has helped purchase items including field lighting, mats for gymnastics, tennis court nets, ping pong tables, benches for basketball courts and even has helped sponsor special events such as a Spring Egg Hunt and Winter Wonderland where imported snow gave local children the experience of playing in snow during winter.
