Each year, Earth Day, April 22, marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement and probably your annual spring cleaning. If you are spring cleaning this year, we want your stuff at this year's Community Recycling Event, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, April 27 at Jim Miller Park. This free biannual event is your opportunity to help our community.
