recycling

[kleeh]

Do The Villages have a recycling program in place and if so, will someone tell me how it is implemented: all glass and metal containers, all paper or is it selective? Collective or sorted? and how does the individual resident go about participating: curbside or central depository?
Also off topic: is it possible to be alerted to responses on personal email server and, if so, how. Thanks to anyone responding to either or both questions.

To your off topic question, I would suggest your best answer might come from HRC. She seems to have had a lot of experience in this regard lately. ::jester:: seriously, the Villages Computer Club may be of help and MMD Computers on 441 is excellent as well

It would be so helpful to you to contact the sales office and get assigned a VILLAGES sales rep who will be so useful to answer all questions.

The reps are not at all pushy and will only come when called.

Getting back to recycling my wife always takes the junk mail home to recycle in our recycling bag. However, on her survey she will mention that there should be recycling trash cans at the postal stations so that people who now seem to drop their junk in the regular trash and it is not recycled but if there was a container for recycled material that would be preferable. I thought that was a good idea.

Good post LittleDog. I think most people don't realize that the junk mail they deposit in the trash cans at the mail stations, becomes just that....trash.

It is nice to not have to bring it home...but at least at home you can place it in with your recycling and know that it doesn't add to the land fill.

A recycling container at the mail stations would be a great idea!

Great idea, just wonder how that will be billed since someone has to pay for the transport which is different than the trash.

Off topic for "General Discussion"? Boy, I guess I need TOTV 101 to learn the ropes. But, nice of you to reply nontheless. The computer club is the one to contact about RECYCLING? Ummm. :confused:

We have a rep who has not been pushy at all, but also who has not been at all helpful. I would think that he should anticipate questions and let us know that he is the source when anything comes up. But that definitely was not the case. So, I will not be leaving yet another message on his phone and waiting for a reply. I prefer to come directly to the citizens here in this great forum, knowing that I will receive good direction poste haste...just as mleeja did.

That is an excellent idea. And with like minds thinking it is maybe the powers that be will be persuaded to get in step. Until that happens, I too will be bringing mine back home to put into recycle container for pickup.

please overlook my first response to your reply...it is obviously way past my bedtime. I just had an ah ha moment when I read Don's (SouthoftheBorder) reply. Thank you for responding to my "off topic" question regarding how to get notified re responses. I really do appreciate it.

Correct. Closing monday. I wasn't as fortunate as you who were were born here, growing up knowing all these things.

Wasn't born here, didn't know all these things, did the research before we bought to understand costs, deed restrictions and government structure....finding all those answers on TOTV is risky.

Many folks are always witty and funny when they are being helpful.

DBussone is one of them. Count on what he says. I have never known him to be wrong.

I hope you have a good Sunday. Most of the time I really do try to be helpful. Sorry to throw you off track.

I agree. And did research before purchasing. Recycling was not one of those deal breakers as the other you listed and that is why I came to YOU who live here to ask. And thank heavens most who respond are helpful and not just looking for a way to put down newcomers. I have found that most are helpful and welcoming, and while a few others are not so much...I think it's due to the lack of face-to-face.

A community discussion group, called PRESERVE OUR ENVIRONMENT, has planned a program for Monday, May 4, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., to be held at United Church of Christ of The Villages, 12514 C R 101, Oxford, FL. It will be a Panel Discussion made up of representatives of the Solid Waste departments of Lake, Marion, and Sumter Counties. Come join us. Bring along a friend or two. This is a VERY UNIQUE opportunity to hear the Tri-County solid waste professionals tell all of us what is happening in the area of recycling. Message me if you would like further information. Queen

Folks With True Recyling Questions: Representatives from two counties, Lake and Marion, will be available for TWO HOURS, Monday, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m., at United Church of Christ of The Villages, 12514 C R 101, Oxford, Fl. The representatives WORK in the solid waste department. The program format will be a Panel Discussion. You will have lots of time to ask ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. Two Villages Administrators CARE ENOUGH to also be attending the program Monday afternoon. Will you be there, too? By the way, this program is offered by the community discussion group, Preserve Our Environment. It is also being co-sponsored by the local League of Women Voters/Tri-County.

[Queen]

Is anyone listening? Are you aware of the program planned for Monday, 5/4/15, at which County solid waste workers will be presenting information about recycling.....plus answering residents' questions????? (Check the previous post.) Would be a shame to have these employees show up.......and a tiny number of residents to greet them! If YOU will attend, please post that information to motivate others to attend, as well.

[Queen]

Consider joining a very special program scheduled for Monday, May 4, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, at United Church of Christ of The Villages, 12514 C R 101, Oxford, Fl. Solid waste employees from local counties will participate in a Panel Discussion to tell about their county's recycling accomplishments and future plans. Following the presentations, the audience will have opportunity to ask questions and offer their comments. If you really want to know what is happening in this tri-county area regarding recycling, plan to attend! Bring along a friend or two!

[Chatbrat]

Since the recycler's make $$ from our work, would it be too much to ask them to supply us with the required recoiling bags, this way ,maybe more people would participate
