Earth Day Event April 17thVerona residents celebrated Earth Day by bringing their recyclable
items to the Recycling Center
at 10 Commerce Ct. from 9 am to 12 noon on April 17th, 2010.
Residents brought: corrugated cardboard, glass and plastic bottles and containers, cans, mixed paper, telephone
books, batteries, a lot of electronic equipment, white goods and metal items. And they also filled up the clothing and

Recycling Pledge Tree
More
than 200 residents signed the VEC's “Recycling Pledge Tree” posters
during the event, showing their support and recycling commitment. This was a great way to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day! Recycling Bins
About
250 free recycling bins from Verona Township were distributed at the
celebration -one per family- to commemorate this anniversary of
Earth Day. One resident confessed that he used his old one for 16 years
before picking up a new one. Many residents signed the pledge without
taking a bin home since theirs were still in good condition.
