Sunny Saturdays are for…dropping off specialty recycling of very specific things! Each drop is a little bit of hope.

Batteries and cords can go to Best Buy at the Poughkeepsie Galleria (and several other Best Buys).

The clear filmy plastic bags can go to the special bin at Hudson Valley Brewery behind 1 East Main near Trax Coffee Roasters down in Beacon’s free municipal parking lot. According to Green Beacon Co., the recycling of the filmy plastics was an initiative started by the Beacon Lions and Key Food Beacon. It transitioned to Green Beacon Co. The initiative then partnered with Beacon’s Conservation Advisory Committee.

An upcoming opportunity for recycling Household Hazardous Waste items is on April 9th, May 21st and September 17th. A person must register to the hazardous waste event. Registration begins April 9th and in the past has gone fast. Find details here.
