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, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper writes about how a team of city of Atlanta employees will inspect recycling bins on four of the city’s recycling routes to determine if they are contaminated or acceptable during an eight week period.

“Feet on the Street,” is a project of the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability along with the Office of Solid Waste Services to reduce contamination in the city’s single stream recycling carts. The project is possible through a grant from The Recycling Partnership, a nonprofit organization.
