[College Hill Topeka] Recycling Update

[Katrina Shaw]

We are delighted to report that the recycling drive we had last Saturday, July 8, was the best one we've had since September, 2013!  We earned $117.00!  In addition to a lot of aluminum, neighbors recycled an old filing cabinet, typing table, piping, and aluminum storm door:  not exactly "everything but the kitchen sink," but pretty close!
  
Additionally, more neighbors participated than in other recent drives, and they contributed more recyclables--including lots of "miscellaneous" metals besides just aluminum and steel cans--this time.  

Since the quarterly neighborhood recycling drives began in September 1990, our College Hill Association has received $12,901.93 from recycling! 

We thank and appreciate VERY MUCH all the people who contributed their recyclables to this drive! 

Many thanks also to the dear neighbor friends who drove and picked up recyclables that day:  Mike and Eric Almond; James, Harley, and Hank Stamper; and Ardith and Jordan Woertz.

The next recycling drive will be Saturday, September 9, our usual recycling day and the Saturday after Labor Day too!  With such a date, we hope that we will have good participation by our neighbors again!
