The annual Recycling Bin Initiative (RBI) was announced Tuesday as a partnership between Montgomery County Environmental Services and the Dragons. The free program will teach local families about the environmental and economic impact of household recycling. Participants will track their recycling for two weeks, but are encouraged to keep tracking it after that period. This year, the focus is on recycling correctly and teaching people what can and can't be recycled. Gem City Roller Derby reveals 2025 home season with 3 doubleheaders 'Not everything can be recycled, and some items that can't be recycled may come as a surprise to many participants,' said Montgomery County Commissioner Judy Dodge. 'It's important that our citizens learn good recycling habits because having better materials makes the whole recycling system more financially sustainable.' The program has saved hundreds of thousands of pieces of recyclable material from ending up in the landfill over the last 13 years. All participants can receive up to four Dragons lawn tickets to RBI Night, exclusive RBI gifts and other Dragon prizes/experiences. To learn more about the program, click here.
