Henderson-Vance Recyling Day

The Recycling Day is the culminating event for the annual Henderson-Vance Spring Litter Sweep Week, sponsored again this year by the Vance County Appearance Commission and the Henderson Community Appearance Commission.
 
Throughout the Spring Litter Sweep Week, April 20-25, organizers are asking local residents, businesses, school groups, churches, youth groups, civic organizations and others to take time to clean up their properties to help improve the appearance of our community. Local Adopt-A-Highway groups also are being asked to go out and clean their designated roadside areas to help improve the appearance of streets and roads throughout Vance County. The N.C. Department of Transportation and work crews from the N.C. Department of Corrections are expected to help clean up along roadsides during the week.
 
Clean-up supplies of gloves, trash bags, recycling bags and orange safety vests are available for groups during the Spring Litter Sweep Week. They can be picked up beginning Thursday, April 16, at the City Operations Center at 900 South Beckford Drive in Henderson, and at the Vance County Schools’ Administrative Services Center at 1724 Graham Avenue in Henderson.
