Saving up some extra recyclables to be collected during the month of April will help stock the Mission Viejo Library’s shelves with new children’s books, thanks to a program the City’s waste hauler launches each spring.
Waste Management of Orange County donates $5 for every ton of residential recycled material collected from single family and multifamily homes in April to the Friends of the Mission Viejo Library, which uses the funding to buy new children’s books for the library’s collection. Last year, the month-long campaign netted $4,900 for the Friends of the Library.
Residents can do their part by saving up their recycle material – newspapers; magazines; junk mail; telephone books; cardboard, metal cans; plastic beverage bottles and milk containers; frozen food boxes, and glass bottles and jars – for weekly curbside or multifamily bin service next month.
