The Richmond Hill Recycling Committee opened the Recycling Depot in October 1975 to provide the facilities where recyclable materials can be deposited. For information about recycling call Marlene Turner at 884-6671 or Nancy Moritsugu at 884-4508. From the depot, these materials are shipped to plants, where glass, newspaper, metal and cardboard are reprocessed into new products. A 7 first three years of operation, the Recycling Depot shipped more than 500 tons of material for recycling. work at the depot involves 50 volunteers, and the reduced tonnage for disposal saves money for all taxpayers in the town. ' All materials for recycling should be separated and properly prepared. Glass should be washed with all metal or plastic lids and collars removed. ‘ Labels should also be lids and collars removed.‘Labels should also be removed. , Clear, green, brown and blue glass is acceptable. Tin cans are accepted if all labels are removed and the cans are washed and flattened with both ends removed.

Newspapers can be picked up by the recycling truck on regular garbage pick up days if they are bundled and left at the curb on the opposite side of the driveway from the regular garbage.

' The Richmond Hill Spring Fair, held the second weekend in May each year, has a 130-yeal‘ histqry. A The modern fair boasts a midway with rides for children of all ages, and games of chance where the hand and the eye compete to see which really is faster. Generations of Richmond Hill youngsters have been on hand to see the fair set up, and to lend a hand. Their payment usually came in the form of free passes for the rides. What startéd basfcallyas an agficulture fair has grown over the years to the Fair we have today. Horses have always played a major role in the Spring Fair, and they still do. There are horse shows of every kind, and horses of every description. Some of the old traditions will always be part of the fair. The baking and preserving contests will never die, and the agricultural and horticultural exhibits are always popular. Local serviceorgahizations and schools get into the act with displays and free literature for all. The Richmond Hill Spring Fair is a tradition «that is destined for a run of another 130 years. ommunity Guide Additions , PRE INVENTORY Spring Fair 291-8153 Mon. - Frl. 8-5.30 p.m Thurs.
