Do you find yourself confused when it comes to recycling? It’s easy to become overwhelmed when determining what is accepted and what should be thrown away. If you’re eager to learn more about recycling, Seneca County Cornell Cooperative Extension, Schuyler County Planning Department, and the Cayuga County Planning Department will be offering the free educational event, “How To Recycle Right: Navigating the Recycling Industry” on Tuesday July 22nd at 6:00pm.
