Teresa; This may seem like I'm "nit picking" or something similar!  It is a burning
question howver.  It's difficult to choose the proper opening phrase or question
without soundin/appearing unkind and/or dissatisfied with "status-quo"!  So here
goes; How long do you keep items posted here?  Is there some cryptic wisdom at
work?  Would it be prudent to reove items that no longer have value?  As in the
various city-wide garage sales, Christmas tree lighting, fair, obituaries, etc., etc.
that date back to 2004!  As i'm a newcomer to both this Forum as well as to Howard,
I'm certain I'm stepping on a lot of toes, but I'm equally certain there are others
wondering the same!!  OK, I'll get off the margarine case, OOOOPS, I mean soap-box.
A slip of the old Norwegian tongue there!
Can anzone tell me what these are?  Æ,Ø,Å  Kjell and I know.

Let's all wish Margaret a joyous birthday today, in
fact, all week long!  She's a great inspiration to us
all.

Some information and guidelines concerning recycling.
First, we need volunteers!  Especially in Elk Falls,
Grenola, Longton, and Moline.  Wouldn't hurt to have a
few in Howard either.  Whilst on that subject, the
recycle trailer is in Longton about 8 A.M. the FIRST
SATURDAY of every month, thence it moves to Elk Falls
at about 1015 A.M. until Noon. The SECOND Friday and
Saturday you'll see it in Howard from 9 A.M. until 11
A.M.  On the THIRD SATURDAY it goes to Grenola at about
8 A.M. until 10, thence on to Moline until about Noon.
So much for guidelines, now for the information or more
properly education;  If you look at the bottom of your
plastic containers, you'll see a triangle with a number
in it and some letters underneath [use your best glasses]
sometimes it's hard to read, if there's any other number
than a 1 [one] or 2 [two] we cannot take it! The number
1 will have the letters PETE underneath, the number 2
will have HDPE underneath. OK to make it easier, milk
jugs and water jugs will be 2-HDPE, soda [pop] bottles
will be 1-PETE, laundry detergent, shampoo, pill bottles,
coffee cans, ice-cream buckets, SOME yogurt containers,
butter tubs, will also have 2-HDPE on them but should be
separated from milk and water jugs as they go in a different
bin on the trailer, thank you.
We also accept newspaper, magazines, shredded paper as well
as junk mail, catalogues and tin cans, glass [please no
window glass or tempered glass like drinking glasses or
coffee carraffes, old lamps nor light-bulbs]. We also
take CORRUGATED cardboard, not cereal, cracker, or similar
cardboard boxes.
And please, please NO TRASH!  We are NOT a trash collector!

And who said it wouldn't last??

Getting older and better!
