recycling

On January 16, the Emporia City Commission gave its preliminary approval to a proposal to implement city-wide curbside recycling.  The next step in the process will be a public hearing sometime in March or April; if the proposal is approved again at that meeting, the city could begin curbside recycling city-wide as soon as October of 2014.

While Christmas shopping yesterday, I discovered the LEGO Garbage Truck set.  Yes, it's a garbage truck -- the little LEGO people are putting dead fish and bananas in it, not cans and bottles -- but it is green and clearly marked with recycling symbols, so maybe there's some confusion in LEGO land about what's recyclable!
