This Wednesday is a red Wednesday, which means trash and recycling pickup. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night. They do not belong on the sidewalk after tomorrow night.

In recycling news, The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), Arlington, Virginia, has released its “Third Annual Report of the eCycling Leadership Initiative,” which shows a total of 620 million pounds of electronics were recycled in 2013, more than double the amount collected for recycling in 2010. The eCycling Leadership Initiative has established a goal of recycling 1 billion pounds of electronics by 2016. The initiative says it plans to grow the number of collection opportunities available to consumers, improve consumer awareness of available electronics recycling collection sites and provide transparent metrics on electronics recycling efforts. E-cycling is important.
