for a chance to win eco-friendly prizes

Looking for a free game to play with the whole
family? Curious to learn what happens once our garbage and recycling leave the
curb? Looking for services in the area to help you lead a more sustainable
lifestyle?

America Recycles Day Bingo is all that and more! Plus, once
you’ve got a bingo, you can pick up a free reusable metal straw and be entered
to win an Earth Machine compost bin
from the Wake County Solid Waste Management Division.

“We’ve moved our annual bingo game online this
year due to COVID-19, and we hope families – as they’re spending more time at
home – will explore the waste-reducing resources we’ve made easy to access,”
said Sara Davarbakhsh, environmental education program coordinator. “We’ve got
everything from virtual tours of our local recycling center to links showing
how you can recycle your Christmas tree to fortify our park trails this holiday
season.”

To get started, just head to wakegov.com/ARDbingo to download a virtual bingo card and cross off spaces as you
complete various recycling-related activities. Examples include recycling
plastic bags at the grocery store, learning how to compost at home, visiting
your town’s website to find a list of items you can recycle in your curb-side
cart and more.

We celebrate America Recycles Day on Nov. 15,
but you have more than a month to complete your virtual bingo card. Cards are
due by 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4. Only one card may be submitted per household.

Complete details are available at wakegov.com/ARDbingo.
