Recycling 101

Alan Pultyniewicz, Recycling Coordinator for Montgomery County Division of Solid Waste Services, demonstrates recycling do's and don'ts.

Last week, Bethesda Green hosted one of the first of what will be regular opportunities for the community — both residents and businesses — to learn more about Montgomery County’s recycling services. Alan Pultyniewicz, MC’s point person and expert on all things pertaining to recycling, and his colleague Ana Arriaza led a “Recycling 101” session to help folks understand the “dos and don’ts” of the county’s recycling program.

The two Recycling Coordinators for Montgomery County Division of Solid Waste Services regularly speak to groups to spread the word.  In fact, Alan was part of the community networking meeting Bethesda Green recently organized and is scheduled to do his thing yet again as part of the “Bethesda Goes Green!” series of events hosted at the Bethesda Library.

We’re fortunate to have such great resources available to help educate all of us about ways to improve and promote recycling efforts throughout the community.
