Know Where to Throw is Recycle Fun!

I am happy to announce that my office is partnering with City of Tucsons Environmental Services Department and Tucson Clean and Beautiful as a collection site for Know Where to Throw. From October 1-November 3 bring your old garden hoses, bicycle tires, inner tubes, blue jeans and plastic grocery bags to Ward offices and other collection locations throughout the community. Collected recycled items will be transformed into new products, saving landfill space and natural resources. Items collected will be posted, showing the results of the campaign at www.knowwheretothrow.com.
