Here’s a Tip:

 

Don’t know what to do with all that yard and kitchen waste?  Well...here is an environmentally friendly way to Recycle that waste!  Turn it into Compost. 

 

How to Make Compost

Composting is nature's own way of recycling.  Compost is the controlled decomposition of organic material such as leaves, twigs, grass clippings, and vegetable food waste.

Compost is a soil conditioner, mulch, and fertilizer all wrapped into one. It feeds the soil microorganisms that help plants stay healthy, adds nutrients to the soil, and helps clay soil drain better and sandy soil retain water. Plus, composting reduces your contribution to the waste stream by recycling yard and kitchen waste into the world's best soil amendment. 

 

The following links will show YOU — How to Make Compost.

Help A Child With Every Sip!

 

 

Ronald McDonald House also known as the “The House that Love Built” is a “home away from home for many families who travel far to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children.  The treatment may last a day, a month, or even longer, but no matter how long, it is still a long time to be away from home, or to divide a family.

 

Please help Officer Francis Brooke in his pursuit to collect 15 pounds of beverage can pull tabs to help pay for one family to stay one night at a Ronald McDonald House. 

 

Contact Officer Brooke at (845) 356-7400 for more details on how you can “help more children through their recovery”.  For more information on Ronald McDonald House Charities visit their website at http://www.rmhc.com
