This Wednesday is a red Wednesday, which means 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.

From recent article:

According to the results of an online survey released by the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), Washington, and conducted online by Harris Poll, more than 103 million Americans older than 18 must rely on their own devices to figure out what can and cannot be recycled, information about the recycling process and other details about recycling. This total represents 44 percent of the adult population, ISRI says, with many of those surveyed saying they rely on internet searches (52 percent), information from local government sources (21 percent), family or friends (18 percent) or other sources for information on recycling.

Bad Kids Night at Mojo’s with Julie On Saturday

From FaceBook event page:

Come be bad with all your friends. The end is near, you’ve been couped up all week, it’s two days before Aaliyah and Sade’s birthday. I could write a four page letter filled with the sweetest taboos, but I don’t wanna rock the boat. I cherish the day we’re gonna have together, the tots we’re gonna eat, the drinks we’re gonna drink, the tail feathers we’re gonna shake.
