A number of thoughtful residents have been inconvenienced by placing plastic flats and flower pots in with their recycling box. Village personnel advise that although these items may have the recycling symbol, they are not recyclable by the Village.

The type of plastic containers that can be recycled in your recycling box are beverage, food, detergent, milk, and non-toxic household cleaners. Some examples of a number one plastic container would be soda, mouthwash, salad dressing bottles, peanut butter jars, etc. Examples of a number two plastic container would be milk jugs, water, juice, and shampoo bottles, as well as liquid detergent containers. All containers must be rinsed of all food or beverage residue.

Other plastics with the symbols "3" through "7" are to be disposed of as garbage or rubbish in this Village. Examples of non-acceptable plastics include toys, utensils, cups, plates, motor oil plastic cans, etc.

Any questions should be referred to the Department of Public Works at 742-5800, Ext. 236.

It is a frequent occurrence that our Village residents are recognized for their service to the community through volunteerism and their exceptional abilities. Such a resident was honored by the Community Fund.

On behalf of the residents of this Village, I extend sincere congratulations to James Zacharias for being selected to receive the Community Fund's Bellinger Award.

Immediate Past President Robert Corrie also received recognition and Robert Cole, Jr. was sworn in as the new president.
