Mayor Dana Ralph announced a mini recycling event at Hogan Park on Russell Road scheduled for Friday the 19th from 9 a.m. to noon. She said residents can check the city website for a list of accepted items and expressed gratitude for grants that fund such events.

Why it matters: Recycling drop-off events let residents safely dispose of items not accepted in regular curbside service and can be funded by grants that support recycling outreach.

What was not specified: The mayor did not list accepted materials in the update, nor did she identify the grant sources or application details.
