Texas Recycles Day is an annual, statewide, public awareness event, first launched to encourage Texans to start recycling or to enhance their recycling efforts. Texas Recycles Day served as a model for America Recycles Day, the national event.
Texas Recycles Day is an opportunity to highlight and promote interest in recycling. The City of Laredo celebrates the day by organizing this festival that educates and raises public awareness of the economic and environmental benefits of recycling. These events include an educational fair, funfest, and tours of the Landfill Material Recovery Center (Recycling Center).
The event from 10:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. for local schools; it is open to the public from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. At that time, citizens are invited to come enjoy free food, music, entertainment and a chance to win door prizes by bringing blue bags full of recyclable material!
Working together, Willie Bote hopes to educate and motivate people on important recycling and conservation issues, crucial to preserving resources and keeping Laredo clean and beautiful now, and for generations to come.
