Mets Sweep Yanks in Subway Series!





Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656 




In a first for the NY Mets, the Amazin’s dealt the Yankees their fifth straight loss with their final win of this four game Subway Series to gain their first sweep of the Yankees since interleague play began.

Dillon Gee had his best game of the year, only giving up one run via solo shot by Robinson Cano in the third inning. Gee had a career high, 12 strike outs in 7 and a third innings work.

No one really expected the fourth place Mets to sweep the first place Yankees, but they did. The Yankees dropped to second place in the AL East, while the Mets are still in fourth in the NL East. Hopefully for the Mets, they can continue to win with games up against the worst team in the league, the Miami Marlins.

What Happens To Recycled Items?




Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656 



Do you know what happens to your recycled bottles, cans, or paper? Well, thanks to Eco-Cycles article, we have some ideas shown below!
  • Glass bottles are recycled into new glass bottles!
  • Aluminum cans are turned back into new aluminum cans, which can be processed over and over again. So don’t throw out aluminum cans!
  • Steel cans are broken down and used in cars and construction materials. They too can be recycled over and over again.
  • Plastic bottles are used in everything! New bottles, carpet, clothes, the list goes on!
  • Paper is made into new paper. Some types of paper can even be recycled and reused up to seven times!


So now that you know what happens to those used bottles and cans, make sure you recycle them every time! 

Let us know what you recycled today, on our Facebook page! Remember to follow us @borrowide on Twitter, as well!
