Recycling

This was in the JRS, but I don’t know if everybody is subscribed to that.

2008 RENO-SPARKS FREE DRIVE-THRU RECYCLING PROJECT INFORMATION

Friday August 22 through Wednesday September 3 (Keystone location
operating through Sept. 6)

Once again this year, you can find FREE DRIVE-THRU recycling at five
Reno locations! Open 24 Hours!

Accepting recyclables:  Plastics (HDPE 1,2,3,4,& 5), plastic bags,
glass, all metals (aluminum, tin, steel, iron, etc.), paper,
cardboard, recyclable batteries, and bikes.

All you have to do is drive into the parking lot, and deposit your
sorted recyclables in the assorted bins provided.  Please have your
recyclables as clean as possible.

New for '08, garbage disposal will additionally be available for
recyclers at approximately $3 per standard 35-gallon trash bag.

Proceeds raised from recyclables, and proceeds raised beyond costs for
garbage disposal, will be donated to support local environmental
programs and charitable causes.  Save Mart will match in donation the
proceeds raised from recyclables up to $1000.

Your participation and care is very much appreciated in this second
year of a multi-community initiative to promote recycling!

That’s fantastic news. Should be much easier than the previous trash debacles. I mapped the Sparks locations, the first one is along 445 which is the back road out of BlackRock City. The second location is right off of 80, so either could work for us and probably less backed up than the ones in Reno proper.

I’m all for taking 445. It looks like it has nice vistas of Pyramid lake.
