Each year, the Town of Morrisville hosts two Green Day events for community members to recycle goods that cannot be placed in residential recycling pickup and to dispose of hazardous or sensitive materials. These events are sponsored by the Public Works Department, the Sustainability Program, and the Morrisville Environment and Stormwater Committee, and they take place each spring and fall.
The next Green Day event will be on Saturday, March 18, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Church Street Park, 5800 Cricket Pitch Way. Drive-thru service will be available, and participants will be able to choose from several stations for recycling and safe disposal. Town staff and volunteers will be on hand to help attendees where needed.
Participants are urged to drive slowly through the stations as there will be foot traffic and volunteers directing attendees.
