Q: Can you give us a list of acceptable and unacceptable recyclable items? I would be happy to provide this information! Here goes: Acceptable materials include:
Q: On the Ziploc boxes it states that when clean and dry, Ziploc bags can be recycled, is this true for our recycling? Thank for another great question! While the box says you may recycle Ziploc bags, the local recycling service does not accept plastic bags of any sort. This includes Ziploc bags, grocery bags and newspaper bags.
Q: Is the Passport Program the same thing as the waiting list? What are the benefits of being a member?
Q: There is an interesting piece of art outside of Verna Belle’s Café by Elizabeth Layton. Can you tell us more about the artist?
