Q: My business proudly displays the American Flag in front of the building. After this harsh winter, the flag became tattered and faded. What can I do with the old flag now that the new one is flying? –Vicki A. A: It is the perfect time to switch out your tattered and faded flag for a new one with the patriotic holidays (Flag Day and Independence Day) coming up in June and July. Thanks to a partnership between Millcreek Township, Retire Your Old Glory, and Printing Concepts, we are happy to provide our residents with a collection bin for retiring “old glory.” This bin can be found in the Millcreek Township Front Lobby all-yearround and is accessible from Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. ‑ Jessica James, Recycling Coordinator To have your recycling questions answered by Millcreek’s Recycling Coordinator, please submit an email to [email protected] or mail a letter to 3608 West 26th Street, ATTN: Recycling Department, Erie, PA 16506.
