Lions Year 2013 Recycling

This Lions year seems to be going well. Recently, at the Region I Meeting in Mathews, I think I heard someone say that it was attended by over 300 Lions. That is awesome for a Region Meeting. Although, the fried oysters might have helped.

There have not been any reports from the Lions Clubs in District 24-D. I do know that my club continues to collect cans, glasses, and hearing aids. We emphasize recycling everything that is recyclable. It would be nice if some clubs could send pictures of recycle activities. There is a page attached to this blog that shows pictures of recycle efforts by a couple of clubs.

Recently, a lady come help me straighten out the garage. She and her sister collect all kinds of metal to recycle. They make a tidy sum each month for their efforts. She told me that the no longer working coffee pot, crock-pot, and other small appliances have metal parts. They take them apart to sell the medal, then throw the other parts in their recycle bins. This could even be a fund raiser for your club. They get paid for all kinds of medal, not just copper. All medal should be recycled instead of filling our landfills.

There is a empty plastic coffee container in my sink to put kitchen scraps in. There is a barrel in the back yard where scraps dumped. It is usually covered with dirt or leaves to prevent flies. Although, if you put scraps in just before a cookout, the flies tend to go to the compost barrel than joining us for dinner.

DO NOT FORGET TO BE MINDFUL OF WHAT CAN BE RECYCLED!
