PRC's Glass Bin is coming again! Start saving your glass.
Why special recycling? While glass is accepted in your curbside recycling bin; most glass is not being recycled due to excess collection and not enough demand. Currently our recycling company repurposes glass as landfill cover. Glass in this collection bin will be 100% recycled, which uses 70% less energy than producing new glass!
Did you know that 1 hr of gas lawn mower use produces 11x the emissions of driving an average new car for an hour. Switching to an electric mower eliminates these emissions, pollutants, noise, fuel spills, much maintenance and hassle of having to get fuel. In this webinar, learn about options for electrifying your yard equipment and efficient electric options for your home such as heat pumps and induction stoves. You can replace your heater and AC with one unit, a cold climate heat pump. FREE, Registration Required, HERE
