City Of Lakeland issued the following announcement on Nov. 11.
Our Second Recycling Superstars are....the Simpsons!!
Our recycling truck drivers selected the Simpson family because they NEVER have any contaminates in their blue cart! Their cart is always out on time and facing the correct way even when it's raining. It was also noted that the family does a great job of breaking down their cardboard and placing them inside the blue carts.
As a small thank you from the Solid Waste Department, the Simpsons were awarded a recycling bag of goodies, including a $25 gift card and a special "Recycling Superstar" sticker for their blue cart.
We ALL win when we use our recycling carts properly. In fact, the City of Lakeland collected approximately 7,000 tons of recyclable materials in 2020. This material is NOT going to the landfill, which saves in fees and is better for our environment.
Keep on recycling the right way and YOU may be our next winner!
