[Green] Recycling bin proposal

[James Grecni]

Really like the proposal.  Only change is the one Patty suggested.  Mike may 
want to weigh in on the extra bin, as he usually asks that the aluminum be 
left at the RE building basement door.  I suppose that others using our 
Fellowship Hall may be encouraged to leave any can they use on the premises 
in that bin.  Thanks for all of you efforts Dawn.

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!
