[Green] Recycling bin proposal

[Dawn Hewitt]

Dear Green Sanctuary Member,

Attached, please find the first draft of the proposal we discussed at today’s meeting to ask the FUUSM Council to rent a mixed-recyclables collection bin. 

As I was typing it, I realized that we’d still need THREE recycling bins in the kitchen: one for aluminum that we (i.e., Mike Bailey) collect to sell for GSC spending money; one for the mixed-recyclables that would be regularly and frequently emptied into the outdoor bin we are proposing; and one for the plastics that Rumpke does not accept. (For reasons I don’t understand, at least for curbside residential recycling, Rumpke accepts only bottle-shaped plastics. On the other hand, the Marietta Recycling Center accepts plastics numbers 1,2,4 and 5, and plastic bags). So, we’d still need three bins in the kitchen.

Please read my proposal and feel free to either send me your comments, or edit this file directly (using MS-Word Review would be helpful, so I can see our changes)— or both!

Meanwhile, I will write a brief primer on recycling in FUUSM for the December Confluence.

Thanks, friends!
