The Washington Park Zero-Sort container is located next to the trash dumpster.
All residents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to think (and act) GREEN.
Using the Zero-Sort container has the potential to save us many pounds of recyclables from being thrown into our trash dumpster.
