Recycling - Marilyn called Progress Port they are the ones that do the recycling for no charge. They have 2 of their workers that come and clean them out. Part of the problem is that other people are dumping other trash in the bins. The only items accepted are tin cans, cardboard and plastic. Must be in plastic bag and can be mixed of those things and they will sort it there. There are people dumping tree debris as well. Maybe someone on light duty or a volunteer could man the recycling part making sure the people are from Herrin and things are bagged up. We have no one on light duty and we have other jobs they can do that are more pressing. We will put some signs up and clean everything up and start clean as a first defense.
Meeting adjourned 5:55 p.m.
