Planet Earth Visits Central Park on Earth Day Celebration
Drive-thru recycle a hit of Earth Day activities.
Free recycling on Earth Day at Chesterfield's Central Park collected a parking lot full of huge televisions, and plenty of other stuff that residents emptied out from their car trunks Saturday.
Saturday was the city's 21st celebration of Earth Day with recycling, entertainment at the city's amphitheater and vendors with goods made from recycled materials.
