This program is being put on by the Schenectady County Public Library, along with partner organizations, the APF, Ellis Rehabilitation Center, The Open Door, The Community Hospice, the Alzheimer's Association and Proctor's.

Bottle and Can Drive at the APF, 12-4 pm Bring your empty cans and bottles to the APF on August 28 between 12 and 4 pm.

If you can't, we will still take them anyway! > remove caps from all bottles > separate cans, glass, and plastic into different clear bags > recyclable water bottles have to be separate > put items in clear plastic bags and write on outside the number    of cans or bottles within THANKS!
