RECYCLE DRIVE

More than half a dozen local teens volunteered some of their time on Saturday to aid their own cause – working at the recycling drive to benefit the Escalon Youth Center. Center director Todd O’Neill said he was extremely pleased with the first time event. “After we put it in The Times and on Facebook, people started calling,” O’Neill said of promoting the drive a couple of different ways, noting that they offered pick up of the recyclables as well as asking people to drop them off at the Youth Center.
