Separation of curbside trash will help keep city 'picked up' By HUGH SHARP Public Works Superintendent We have had recycling updates and litter prevention articles and surely both are still important issues in the master plan to keep a community clean, safe and healthy. But it is becoming increasingly important to have citizen cooperation in the management of waste and debris generated by household operations. SEPARATION OF TRASH AT CURBSIDE IS WHAT WE ARE WRITING ABOUT TODAY. Perry's dry trash landfill has had to be closed, at least temporarily, and if it reopens it will be considerably limited as to the types of waste allowed. The City is working with the state authorities now to find some relief from their last ruling. . So wc-definitely need to isolate our various types of waste so that the collectors can, let us say, specialize. The garbage in the green toter will be handled as usual. The rear loaders will compact it and take it all to the county landfill. At present the county charges a fee of $20.50 per ton to dump. But trash from the yard and the household is the problem. Wh had been loading it on flatbed trucks and hauling it to our dry trash facility. NO MORE. Everything now has to be taken to Perry Book Browsers meet, name new officers in April New officers for the Perry Book Browsers were named at the meet ing held April 29 at the New Perry Hotel. They are: Evelyn Rosebrock, President; Betty Fesmire, Vice IResident; Kay Allen, Secretary; and Marian Stubbs, Treasurer. The 32 members present enjoyed a program given by Betty Gray, who showed slides of many historical homes and buildings in the area and accompanied this with a history of Perry and Houston County.

Tommy Carrier - Owner Custom Audio Installer 1306 Main Street • Perry • (912) 988-3083 the county landfill except those things we are able to recycle cm- chip up for mulch or make into compost. So here comes the deal. Yard trimmings need to be separated from household debris. Grass in one pile, leaves in one pile, and tree limbs in one pile and metal in another pile. Of course we recommend grasscycling or leaving the clippings in the yard. We plan to chip into mulch as much of the tree limbs and branches as possible to keep from having to haul that stuff to the county landfill. Also, the mulch is then available to the public for use in gardens, on paths, and for animal bedding and pens. Again, as much as we can, we will use a leaf and grass vacuum system to suck up those piles and make compost out of them. If twigs, sticks, branches, and limbs are mixed in with leaves and grass we will not be able to pick them up. You can see what that would do to the vacuum machine. Please separate them from grass and leaves. Now, even household items should be separated to some extent. We will continue to store metal for recycling. So bicycles and swingsets need to be laid out separately from mattresses, rugs, chairs, plastic pools, and items like Kay Gale, Willene Hall and Opal McMillan. On May 26, Norma Cheek, Willie Grimes, Doris Hulbert and Totsie Evans served as hostesses. Mary Tolleson was voted in as a new member. Ketus Cawthon entertained the club with a review of Carolyn Miller's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Lamb in His Bosom. Miller was the first Georgian to win a Pulitzer Prize in Literature. Although her book was published Please see BROWSERS, page 2B Houston Times-Journal that. When you have large appliances to dispose of, please call us at 987-1911 and we will pick them up free of charge. They will be stockpiled for recycling. The Public Works Department's goal is to keep Perry picked up. But your help at home will speed the process along and allow the limited crews maximum use of time and equipment to do the best job possible, at the least expense saving you money. Oh...just a couple of final thoughts. Please bag pinecones. Thoe things are mean to pick up when loose at the curbside. And remember, old auto tires are your responsibility. They need to be taken to the City Barn. Call 987- 1911 for directions and disposal details. THE NEW, HIGHER RATES COME FIRST AT CROSSROADS BANK!

Further, this reduction was realized in spite of the fact that production of glass products increased by 58 percent during the same period at the Perry glass maker. "This performance exceeded PPG's goal of reducing wastes by 10 percent last year," said Kris McGee, Perry's Plant Manager. "Our factory's 1994 objective is to reduce total wastes another 10 percent this year." In addition, McGee said the 1993 results "included 221 fewer tons of hazardous waste, 80 percent less than Perry's 1992 results." Although 1993 data will be unavailable until later this year, Perryans to attend annual D.A.R.E. Day in Atlanta By BRENDA THOMPSON Staff Writer Perry Police Officer Bill Hathcock and five Perry youngsters, along with hundreds of others from across the state, will start their summer vacations in exciting style as they gather in Atlanta for a special D.A.R.E. Day 1994 celebration June 17 and 18. The Perry youths participating in the event have all been students of the local D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program and were chosen by a drawing held at each of Perry’s five elementary schools. Those attending will be Deveon Felder of Momingsidc Elementary; Ben Hilderbrand of Kings Chapel Elementary; Jamie Jaros of West field Schools; Danny Deal of Tucker Elementary and Amber Graham of Perry Elementary. According to Officer Hathcock, who is the Perry area D.A.R.E. in structor, the group will leave Perry Friday morning, June 17, arriving in Atlanta in time for registration and a luncheon at the Radisson Inn. From there, they will go to the Georgia Capitol for a special D.A.R.E. graduation ceremony and will later head to the ball park to watch the Atlanta Braves take on the Cincinnati Reds. The following day, the group will enjoy a tour of the famous World of Coke Museum and will also enjoy lunch at the Hardrock Cafe of Atlanta before returning to Perry. The D.A.R.E. Day 1994 trip is being made possible by a number of local contributors.

Releases totaled 115 tons in 1992, down seven tons, or 5.7 percent, from 1991. McGee credits the Perry plant's associates for putting a lot of effort in 1993 into finding ways to put material that had previously been sent out as waste back into the process. "Both our quality process and our company policy require minimizing waste, a reflection of PPG's commitment to the Responsible Care initiative for chemicals management," McGee said. "Further reducing waste benefits the environment, our community, and makes PPG more efficient and competitive." Annual Percentage Yield 3.50 4.00 4.27 4.58 5.09 6.14 6.24
