WL Recycle!

The recycling bins have been delivered to City Hall and the Community Center for your use...no excuse! It started as an innocent enough question from daughter Sarah (in pic), "Dad, why don't we recycle?" There really wasn't a good reason, I felt a bit ashamed. So our family started recycling. We made the trip to the Metro North recycling center to dump our treasure. We talked about recycling here in the City. We had a paper bin at City Hall that's it. So one thing led to another, a presentation at the April BOA, an engaged supporter in Alderman Finn and tadaaa! The bins are here. I'd love to see curb side, but one step at a time. Fill the bins, make the case that WL is interested in reducing waste and landfill space.

A few tips, Clean and Crush. Rinse out the cans and plastic. Crush to reduce the amount of space your contribution to the bin takes. At both sites we have a separate paper bin and a recycling bin that allows cans, aluminum cans, plastic and cardboard. Sorry, no glass please, you'll have to save that for a Metro North run.

Thanks to Tanya for her leadership and running down the details. Thanks to Sarah for asking why.
