Local recycling plan saves money, land
By Debbie McMahon Kansan staff writer
Don't throw it away, it may be worth money.
George Abrams, Lawrence residence along with local residents and KU students is known to students and Lawrence residents by forming a recycling drive from 2 to 5 p. m. Saturday at Community Mercantile, 700 Maine
During those times, Till-Star Enterprises, a Topeka recycling company, will pay for aluminum, glass, paper and plastic. Higher energy costs will be separated, co-owner Mike Tiller said. The company plans to come to
Lawrence the second Saturday of each month
"This is not a long-term answer to the recycling problem." Abrams said. "Our goal is to have curb-side recycling in Lawrence, with different colored bags for different kinds of recyclable trash.
"I've done a lot of traveling and seen recycling projects work in other communities." he said.
Till Star will be paying 40 cents per pound for aluminum burgers can and 75 cents per 100 pounds of newspapers.
A petition will be at the Community Mercantile to let the Lawrence City Commission know how many people in Lawrence are interested in recycling. Abrams said he hopes residence, fraternities, sororites and special project groups will use the money to raise money
Mike Rundle, city commissioner, said he was not working on this specific project, but is exploring the recycling program in Lawrence.
"There is a lot of citizen interest and I think people want to recycle plastics," she said. "It is the legitimate moral motivation that we shouldn't be wasteful recycling products. And the city spend a significant amount on handrails and sanitation."
If trash can be recycled, less woul
have to be taken to landfills, Rundle said.
Linda Gwaltney, manager of Community Merchantline, said it appalls her to the idea that Lawrence, it is the citizens' rights to recycle. She said since TillStar will be coming only once a year, she wants to have their trash until TillStar arrives.
"Maybe having to hold on to trash makes you realize how trashy you are." Gwaltney said.
Till Star also has a "Gold Goat" aluminum recycling machine in the parking lot of JL's Grocery, 101 Iowa St., said Tiller. He will be there from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow to take all recyclable products.
