After weeks of large-scale water bottle distribution in Wayne, county leaders are now asking residents to recycle those empties.
The Wayne County Commission is hosting plastic bottle return events from February 16 through February 21.
Residents can drop off empty bottles at the Wayne County Solid Waste Authority, located at 322 Bluefield Street, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Officials ask that bottles be placed in garbage bags before arrival to help speed up the process.
