Recycling Drop-off DaySunday, Jan. 12, 8:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Drop off your unwanted Styrofoam, paint cans, and rechargeable batteries at Temple Beth Shalom, and The Green Team will take them to the Austin Recycle Center. (Any type of paint is OK; seal the cans well.) Take advantage of this easy way to safely dispose of these items!
If not now, when? If not us, who?
And if I am not for the planet, then who will be? (a modern twist on Hillel)
