St. Francis is hoping to launch an organics drop-off program as soon as the details are figured out. Hauler, location, starter kits and other logistics need to be determined before any promotion is sent to residents. Tom is working with Anoka County on promotion and other issues. Spring Lake Park, Wanda Brown — via e-mail. 0o October 24 was Recycling Day at City Hall. Volumes have yet to be determined since a big event was just sponsored at City Hall in August. Green Lights filled a truck with mattresses, which had to be driven to their facility to be emptied, so additional mattresses could be collected. 0o The leaf drop-off was part of the event and two 30-yard dumpsters were filled. Turnout was low due to the weather, so another event is being planned on November 14, from 10 am to 2 pm. That leaf drop- off will be at City Hall and the Public Works Department will staff the event. oo The last Green Lights Recycling event for 2020 will be held on November 14. Next year's (2021) schedule is in the works. There will be two events held at City Hall, one in April and another in October. Every other month events will continue to be held at Green Lights Recycling, the second Saturday of the month, throughout the year and the number of free items will be reduced from 4 (2020) to 2 (2021).
