No trash-talking here, friends, but I do want to take a moment to talk about something that might be equally as exciting - something that plays a huge role in keeping our neighborhoods beautiful and our planet happy - RECYCLING!
Take a minute to let your heart rate come down and let those goosebumps go away.

The Vanderburgh County Solid Waste Management District Facebook page just shared some really useful information about recycling...
Did you know? 76% of recyclable materials never make it past our homes-they're lost at the household level! Even with curbside recycling available in many neighborhoods, too many items that could be recycled still end up in landfills. But here's the good news: you can make a difference. Knowing what can and can't be recycled is a simple step that has a big impact. Help keep our community and environment healthy by recycling what you can when you can!
They also included this handy-dandy graphic to remind us all of what we should and should not throw in our curbside recycling bins.
Here’s the deal: Recycling right makes the whole system work better. It keeps our environment cleaner, reduces landfill waste, and hey - it just feels good knowing we’re doing our part, doesn’t it?
So next time you roll that bin to the curb, give yourself a high five. You’re helping Evansville shine a little brighter.
