The April 7, 2025, "Mondays with the Mayor" meeting in Peachtree City focused on significant updates regarding the local recycling facility and the upcoming budget process for the city.

The meeting began with an overview of recent changes to the McIntosh Trail recycling facility. Mayor discussed the adjustment in funding for the Keep Peachtree City Beautiful operations, noting that residents previously contributed $1 quarterly through their trash bills. This amount has now increased to $1 per month. The mayor emphasized the importance of this funding for maintaining the recycling center's operations, which now has limited hours: open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, except Sundays from 11 AM to 5 PM, and closed on Mondays.

The mayor clarified that the types of materials accepted for recycling remain unchanged, including glass bottles, jars, paper products, cardboard, and aluminum cans. However, the service is now restricted to Peachtree City residents only, as the city can no longer accommodate recyclable materials from businesses or other communities.

The meeting also addressed the upcoming budget planning for the fiscal year starting October 1. The mayor encouraged citizen participation in the budget discussions, which will commence on May 30. He highlighted the importance of public involvement in the budgeting process, stating that all meetings will be open to the public and that the budget will be shared online and at City Hall once it is prepared.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to transparency and community engagement in both recycling operations and budget planning, inviting residents to stay informed and involved in local governance.
