Having a ‘Friends-giving’? Catching up with friends and family to kick off the holiday season? Help Jenkintown School District earn money by recycling your used plastic Solo Cups through Terracycle! You can find a labeled bin outside of Borough Hall, located at the corner of Leedom Street and Summit Avenue. Or you can head over to Town Square, at the corner of Leedom Street and Greenwood Avenue where an additional bin has been placed.

Place your Solo Cups in either of the collection bins between November 17th  and November 25th to help fund the JSD. Both blue bins are marked with fliers to designate the specific bin to use! You may find a link to the flier here! Every little bit helps!

Have a wonderful and safe holiday!
