City Of Lakeland issued the following announcement on Jan. 29.
Our Third Recycling Superstars are....Paula and Earl Laclair!
Our recycling truck driver Ray Perez selected the Laclairs because they ALWAYS handle their recyclables the right way! They flatten their cardboard boxes, remove all plastic bags from their recyclables, space their carts at least three feet apart, and only load their cart with acceptable materials.
As a small thank you from the Solid Waste Department, the Laclairs 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 2021. 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!
