Benton Harbor residents are being reminded about an opportunity to recycle empty plastic water bottles. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Service says they can drop off the bottles for recycling at Benton Harbor High School during regular water distribution hours. It says more than 5.8 million bottles of free water have been distributed since September. Residents are being encouraged to take home 33 gallon, clear plastic bags from the bottle distribution site to return empty water bottles at the high school during the water distribution hours. Plastic bags for recycling are also available for delivery, and empty water bottles will be collected during state home deliveries.
