Recycling discussion

PEORIA -- The executive director of the Illinois Recycling Association Michael Mitchell will speak from 7:30 - 9 p.m. on Monday, July 20 at LaGondola Restaurant (formerly Leonardos), 700 E. War Memorial Drive at Wisconsin Ave.

His talk, sponsored by the Global Warming Solutions Group and Sierra Club, will focus on waste and recycling in Peoria.

He will discuss the experiences of other Illinois cities using a pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) program (paying for trash with recycling free) and address questions from attendees as part of a panel.

These issues are important as Peoria moves to deal with its expiring residential trash hauling contract and municipal landfill expansion.

The event is free and open to the public.

  • Telling the truth
    "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell "I found that to tell the truth is the hardest thing on earth, harder than fighting in a war, harder than taking part in a revolution." Richard Wright, 1944.
  • From the News Release
    PeoriaStory will tell the stories that likely won’t be told by the mainstream/corporate media. It will question local political candidates for their views on controversial topics. It will cover and profile off-beat movements and people. It will take stands on issues such as the Kellar trail. It will also serve as a forum for liberal and progressive events, and welcomes news releases from groups working for the public good. PeoriaStory will be a fresh, new voice for the Peoria area blogosphere, and offer a liberal and progressive perspective for our times.
