Grand Opening of Sunflower Recycling Center
The public is invited to the grand opening of the new Sunflower Recycling Center drop-off site where food, prizes, and discounted paper shredding are on the agenda.
The event is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 31 at 5605 10th, just west of the 5523 10th site. Sunflower Diversified Services, which serves children and adults with special needs, operates the center.
Hot dogs and bottled water are on the menu as long as supplies last. Starting at 10 a.m., drawings for prizes are scheduled for every half hour until 1:30 p.m. Prizes include t-shirts, a half-pound of Pat’s beef jerky, and one-of-a-kind art pieces that clients created at Sunflower’s Beautiful Minds Art Studio.
The individual who brings in the most pounds of newspapers for recycling on the grand-opening day will win a Napoleon TravelQ portable grill, courtesy of Eldridge Fencing. The winner, who does not have to be present, will be announced at 2 p.m.
To top it off, Bates said, paper shredding will be discounted to 25 cents a pound instead of 50 cents.
