Recycling Event Announcement
Earlier today, the Department of Environmental Facilities issued a robocall announcing a recycling event inadvertently scheduled for Yom Kippur. We sincerely apologize for the oversight. The event has been postponed, and we will reschedule it to a more suitable date in November. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
