  Curbside recycling is coming!!!

 As part of my administrations ongoing efforts to ensure we provide efficient services without incurring additional tax burdens I am very pleased to announce that as of October 1, 2009 Lincoln Park residents can enjoy curbside recycling pickup.

 Citizens have asked me time and again how to have an impact on lowering government costs. This plan allows every resident in town to have an impact on what we spend in solid waste disposal. By diverting the recyclable items out of the waste flow and into recycling YOU have a direct impact on YOUR tax dollars. We aim to reduce what we spend in solid waste disposal costs by a significant amount by reducing the weight of what we dispose.

 How does it work? The Borough will pickup curbside two times a month mixed recyclables (cans, plastic, glass in one bin, newspapers, junk mail, cardboard in another). We will do this one the first garbage day of your route two times per month, please keep an eye out for the exact schedule which will come out in September.

 In addition the Borough will provide each household two recycling plastic bins to provide everyone a jump-start. Not only does this give everyone a direct stake in reducing municipal costs it is the right thing to do environmentally.

The full plan will be coming in an email through the newsgroup, will be posted on the Boroughs website (www.lincolnpark,org) and posted on Channel 77.
