Are you having a Graduation Party and using Solo Cups? Please consider recycling your empty party cups through Terracycle. There will be blue bins outside of Borough Hall & in Town Square starting Friday. They will be marked with the following flyer and picked up on Monday.
It’s a Win-Win: As a direct shipment to Terracycle, the solo cups will definitely be recycled, and we’ll also make a little money for Jenkintown School District! To view the flyer, please click here!
