Paper, including paper fiber and confidential papers. No cardboard. All paper items will be shredded to ensure safety.
Household goods, including dishes, glasses, silverware, lamps, pots, and
drapes. American flags. Eyeglasses donations and book donations.
Due to City regulations, air conditioners, paint and tires will not be accepted, Addabbo noted.
“I encourage my constituents to once again go through their closets, attics and garages and join us at this recycling event to dispose of old and unwanted items in a convenient and responsible manner,” said Addabbo, a member of the Senate Environ.
