Since the neighborhood recycling drives began in September 1990,
our College Hill Association has received *$15,861.98* from recycling!
Since we have one more recycling drive in 2023 (in December), we are
optimistic that the neighborhood will reach the $16,000 mark by the end of
the year!


We thank and appreciate all the people who contributed their pre-sorted
recyclables.  Many thanks the wonderful volunteers who helped to pick up
and drop off the recyclables:  Susan Duffy; Tom and Darcel Luellen; Frank
and Sarah Meadows; and John Christensen.  We appreciate their dedicated and
cheerful service to College Hill and our environment!!


Our next recycling drive will be *Saturday, December 9*. Be sure to save
your aluminum cans for College Hill!  We are happy to take other metal
recyclables as well.  A reminder email before our next drive will be sent
with more details.  If you have recyclables you would like to donate early,
please contact Carol at 785-554-8068.
