In honor of Earth Day, the Youth and Family Services Department will be running a recycling challenge for teens in Grades 6-12 from Saturday, March 1st to Wednesday, April 30th. Teens are encouraged to bring bottles and cans to any local bottle drop during this time. Any teen patron who wishes to participate should save their receipts for March and April and either bring them in to show a librarian in Youth Services, or email photos of them to ContactYFS@riverheadlibrary.org. Librarians will keep track of each participant's totals, and they will be awarded volunteer hours based on the following metric, for a max of 10 hours per month:

20 containers = 1 volunteer hour

40 containers = 2 volunteer hours

60 containers = 3 volunteer hours

etc.

Hours will be awarded at the end of the challenge period. Additionally, the participant with the most items logged will win a Grand Prize: a 30oz Stanley Quencher!
