After years of planning and negotiating a new recycling program, LawrenceRecycles will start Tuesday to serve single-family homes — apartment complexes will be added to that list.
In the past several weeks, the city has dropped off recycling bins to single-family homes and of the 23,000 cars handed out, only 430 residents refused or

Richardson said it doesn't matter whether or not residents decide to use the carts or to recycle with an independent company because all residents are being charged the fee.
Despite the additional dues, Constantine Ochs, a junior from Lawrence, said he is still in support of the recycling program.

On October 21, recycling service will begin for apartment complexes and homes all across Lawrence. Recycling will be collected every other week on the same day as residents' trash days.

Free HIV testing will return next semester

@AllisonCristUDK
The three groups that came together last week and provided 18 KU students with free HIV testing will be returning to the Union next semester.
Spectrum KU, Watkins Health Center and the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department collaborated to offer this complimentary testing at the Union. Students were able to receive their results within 15 minutes.
"Fifty percent of all college students will get at least one STI before they graduate,"
said Jenny McKee, health educator with Student Services at Watkins. "Anytime we're having a safe-sex conversation people need to listen."

Health Department. However, the organization shut its doors this past July due to its services no longer being needed. Its services were transferred to a couple of different local health organizations, one of which being the LDCHD.
In the past, Watkins has worked specifically with the Douglas County AIDS Project, rather than the general
"The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department absorbed funding from the AIDS Project to continue allowing free HIV testing for Douglas County residents," McKee said. "When the programs were moved around, it was an easy transition to help continue providing both education and services in regards to safe sex."
The Health Department is already doing enough by offering free testing, so we cover the education aspect," McKee said. McKee said she believes it's important for students to stop by their table in the Union, even if it's just for learning

While Watkins itself does not offer free testing for any sort of STI, it assisted the Health Department by providing "safer-sex" kits, along with pamphlets of information and other educational tools.
To satisfy a portion of STI tests upon the return of LDCHD next semester, free blood tests for Hepatitis C and syphilis will be offered as well.

"The event went really well," said Aundrea Shafer, Health Promotion Specialist at LDCHD. "The Union is a great spot to attract student attention."
