Arbor Day & Recycling Event

The City will be holding its Arbor Day and Recycling Event for electronics, paper shredding, and styrofoam from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on Saturday, November 5, 2022. Arbor Day will be held in the pavilion at the Lucas Community Park. The recycling drive drop-off site for electronics and paper shredding will be located in the parking lot next to the Lucas Community Park.

Arbor Day is an annual holiday that celebrates and promotes tree planting and care. Arbor Day will be held in conjunction with the recycling event to promote environmental sustainability as we continue to Keep Lucas Beautiful. In support of Arbor Day, the Legacy 4-H Club will be encouraging tree planting and beautification in the community.
