C. Recycling Updates
Ms. Fonfara stated that the next Recycling Saturday is December 19 from 10am – 2pm.
Mr. Heiskary has been to a few of the Recycling Saturdays and can’t believe that the
demand is still so strong, which is a good thing.
Ms. Bor asked if the Vietnam Veterns were going to be there on Saturday to take clothing
and household items because sometimes they are and sometimes they are not.
Ms Fonfara mentioned that the Vietnam Veterns were not going to be there but that
Bridging will take household items and that there is a clothing drop off container at the
business next to the park that residents can use.
Old and broken holiday lights are being collected from City staff and will be recycled by
All Appliance Disposal for free.
Ms. Fonfara also brought up the locations and dates for drop-off Christmas tree recycling.
The trees will be mulched and reused in City parks. This was also mentioned in the City
newsletter.
Ms. Fonfara is looking for volunteer judges for the “America Recycles Day Art and
Essay” contest which has the deadline of December 18. She will email out judging
criteria.
