Last month I wrote about this start-up company and they have just now provided this map of their expanded pickup route. The starting date for the added roads (Muskrat, Fisher, Jackrabbit, & Elk Trail) is next Monday, April 5 and to participate just put any plastics and aluminum into a black trash bag by the side of the street. Plastic beverage bottles with "CRV" on the label are not only accepted but desirable to Way Out for recycling value.(They cannot take glass or newspapers yet but if enough of us begin using this service this might change.)
If you live on any one of the several courts that branch off the yellowed roadways shown above you might call the LSPOA office at 938-3281 to ask if it is okay to leave your bag(s) on the side of the main road.
One of the (several) nice things about this service is that you don't have to separate the different plastics nor drive them to town. Time is money as they say and it's great now to NOT have six or seven boxes in your garage for the different numbers. If you look on each plastic container there will be the recycling triangle icon with a number in it and WayOut takes them all.
To save those flimsy vegetable bags and white plastic grocery bags (both #2) try this: cut a 2" hole in the side of a plastic milk jug (also #2) and push the bags inside. You can jam a great number of bags in there and since it's all #2, you just leave of the milk jug in the black trash bag instead of 3 cubic feet of uncompressed plastic bags. You will be able to get a lot more in this way.
If you have questions call Jason Robinson at 938-9967 or email him at wayoutrecycling@yahoo.com.
Late development: Jason reports that response has been so strong that he is willing to come to any address to make a pick up. So if you do not live on the map route above don't dispair, just call or email him with your address and they will come right to your home.
Due to so many calls they are even considering a glass pickup once a month but they do not yet have a trailer to haul with (although he said that is coming soon) and if anyone here in Lake Shastina who owns a trailer is willing to let them use theirs for a month or two they will add glass to the program.
Again, call Jason at 938-9967. Let's all get on board with this neat program!
