Mayor Thomas P. Schneider said that this year’s electronic recycle event April 7 was once again an overwhelming success. “An overflow of people came to the event to recycle electronic devices which included TVs, computer equipment, stereos and household appliances.”

The event was held Saturday April 7t in St. Ferdinand Park at the rear parking lot. The mayor thanked Midwest Recycling Center for co-sponsoring the event. Adjustments to this popular event will be made to accommodate the ever increasing popularity of this environmentally friendly recycling event, another demonstration of Florissant’s commitment to preserving the environment.

This Saturday, April 21 is the 7th Annual Free Document Shredding Day which will also be held at St. Ferdinand Park- rear parking lot from 9 a.m. to noon. It was timed just right to pitch those unneeded tax documents safely.
