This Wednesday is a “Red Wednesday”, which means trash and recycling pickup. Ideally, rolling recycling containers are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night.
If you have not done so already, don’t forget to sign up for your Recycling Perks.

In recycling news, Gillette has announced plans to launch the first national program to fully recycle used razors.
The razor brand is launching the campaign alongside TerraCycle, an international recycling company that specializes in hard-to-recycle materials.
Gillette’s campaign will accept all razor blades and cartridges, regardless of brand. Those who wish to participate in the program can sign up online, and ship materials from their home. Businesses, organizations and schools can also sign up to become a recycling location.
Participation is only offered to U.S. customers at this time, but Gillette says they are already working on rolling the campaign out in other countries.
