recyclables ensure that the items our residents recycle can be processed in an expedient and cost-effective manner.
"With the help of our residents, we can continue to offer a successful curbside recycling program, and we hope this
and other community meetings will ensure that outcome."
In addition to recycling program information, Reed will offer insight and updates on the "Greener Huntsville: Easy
Recycling" initiative, including the use of the City's Twitter page to help residents stay on top of their garbage and
recycling dates.
"By providing how-to guides, tips and reminders about curbside recycling on our City's existing Twitter page, our
hope is to make recycling a quick and convenient part of our citizens' daily lives," Reed said. "We plan to use Twitter
to remind people to put their blue or green carts at the street's edge both at the right time and on the right day, and
also to provide new and fun ways to take part in curbside recycling."
