The Silver City Office of Sustainability, PNM and The Volunteer Center are providing free bags to replace the single-use bags that will no longer be available as of Jan. 8, 2015.

On Nov. 15, the nationwide America Recycles Day, at the Silver City Office of Sustainability, people had the opportunity to recycle electronics, glass, as well as regularly recyclable materials. 

At right, Monty Montaño and Michael Palomares volunteered to hand out bulbs and bags. Kathi Anderson holds a bulb, and Rachelle Bergman holds the bag she just received.
