Ridwell Reminder

The next featured item is plastic caps and flat lids. Please bring them along with your usual items in time for the next Ridwell prep party on April 21 at 2 p.m. Join us—it’s fun! We had a lot of soft pliable styrofoam in the last pick up—Ridwell only takes white RIGID styrofoam and the pellets. Pliable styrofoam is garbage unfortunately. Also, remember to save your scrap metal for our May metal drive. Contact Kathy (612-590-9606) or Sue (612-703-2297) with questions 💚
