To celebrate the 45-year anniversary of Earth Day, the City of Manassas Public Works and Utilities Department is hosting a Recyclefest on April 4.
The event runs from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Manassas Transfer Station on Quarry Road in Manassas.
The Osbourn High School Robotics team will be showcasing their recycling project. The team is planning to compete in an international robotics competition, according to a release.
At the event, residents will be able to recycle items including household hazardous waste, electronic waste and used clothing. They’ll also be able to shred documents for free, as well as see craft demonstrations and enter a raffle, according to a release.
During Recyclefest last year, more than 400 residents attended, and the public works department was able to recycle more than 20,000 tons in four hours.
“Two billion people across 192 countries will participate in Earth Day 2015, making it the largest civic observance in the world. The City of Manassas is happy to be part of the celebration,” said Monica Boehringer, refuse and recycling coordinator at the public works department.
