<DIV>Hi Neighbors,<BR><BR>See below for information on the City's recycling
contest. I'm assuming we are all on the Thursday pick-up route . We would each
get a wheeled recycling cart which are so much better than open
bins!<BR><BR>***************************************************<BR>Excerpt
taken from the City's list-serve newsletter.<BR><BR>8. Winning refuse route gets
recycling roll carts<BR><BR>For the second year in a row, the City of Evanston
and Keep Evanston Beautiful (KEB) are calling on Evanston residents and
businesses to recycle as many aluminum beverage cans as possible during the
entire month of October, designated "Evanston CAN Recycle!" month. <BR><BR>This
year, residents have a new incentive; besides helping the city win money for its
recycling program, residents can win new recycling roll carts for their own use.
<BR><BR>The City is pitting all four garbage/recycling routes against each
other; the route that recycles the most aluminum cans during the month of
October will win a 65 or 95 gallon recycling roll cart for each of its
residential customers.<BR><BR>Evanston community members don't need to do
anything extraordinary; simply make certain all of their aluminum cans are
placed in recycling containers throughout the entire month of October. Groot,
the City's recycling hauler, will sort and weigh the aluminum cans.
<BR><BR>Community members and organizations with large quantities of cans to
recycle can make use of strategically placed dumpsters to participate in the
refuse route competition. These recycling dumpsters will be appropriately
labeled for the competition.<BR><BR>Cans dropped off at the Levy Senior Center,
300 Dodge Avenue, and placed in the designated recycling dumpster will be
counted toward Monday's route; cans in the dumpster at Chandler-Newberger
Center, 1028 Central Street, will be counted toward Tuesday's route; cans in the
dumpster at the Fleetwood-Jourdain Center, 1655 Foster Street, will be counted
toward Wednesday's route; and cans placed at Robert Crown Center, 1701 Main
Street, will be counted toward Thursday's route. <BR><BR>Cans for all of the
routes can be dropped off at the Ecology Center, 2024 McCormick Blvd.
<BR><BR>Evanston has accepted the challenge to compete against other
municipalities its size in the U.S. Conference of Mayors Cans for Cash program.
The monetary prizes of up to $10,000 can be put toward enhancing Evanston's
recycling programs. <BR><BR>Evanston will compete in Division Three against
other cities in the country with populations between 50,000 and 99,999. Last
year's winner was Des Plaines, Ill., which recycled 1,120,660 pounds!
<BR> <BR>Community members without residential recycling
pickup by Groot are encouraged to drop off their cans at any of the listed
recreation centers or make a special effort to bring their aluminum beverage
cans to the City's Recycling Center, 2222 Oakton Street: Fridays, noon to 7
p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. <BR> <BR>Though
Evanston wasn't a finalist in the quantity of cans recycled against other
Division Three cities in 2007, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Novelis Inc. and
Keep America Beautiful, Inc., all sponsors of the Cans for Cash program, awarded
$5,000 to the City of Evanston to help enhance its recycling programs, and
$2,500 to Keep Evanston Beautiful (KEB), Inc., for the partner's innovative
marketing ideas. <BR> <BR>The aluminum can is the
country's most recycled beverage container and has been for more than 20 years.
