Marietta College volunteer Lexi Jobe hands a computer monitor to Christopher Imm of Athens-Hocking Recycling Center to be recycled on Saturday morning.
MARIETTA Washington County residents had the opportunity to safely recycle unwanted items during a recycling drop-off event as part of the Marietta Earth Day Celebration on Saturday.
Calling it the “Hard to Recycle Materials Event,” residents were allowed to donate items that are not normally allowed to be recycled due to unsafe chemicals in the materials or for those just wanting their items to go to the right place, according to Kathy Ortt, Marietta Earth Day Celebration committee member.
