<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: "Aptos", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Falmouth Solid Waste Advisory Committee and the Department of Public Works have planned a series of four recycling events for the fall season. These events
are intended to provide residents with a convenient opportunity to divert recyclable materials from the landfill. All are free of charge, although the latex paint event has a suggested donation to help cover recycling costs and support a local non-profit organization.</span></p>
