CURRENT RECYCLING NEWS:

RECYCLE INKJET PRINTER CARTRIDGES
Ridgewood continues to encourage good recycling habits through its latest project, the Monster Ink Recycling Program, in cooperation with Cartridge Evolution. You can now bring your used inkjet printer cartridges to any of three local dropboxes. Each cartridge that you "feed to the monster" helps conserve our resources, keep plastic out of landfills, and earn funds that go back to the Village. Outdoor Monster Dropboxes can be found at:
Village Hall / Library Plaza   |  The Ridgewood Post Office  |  The Recycling Center
