Thanks to volunteers | Letter

Kudos to all the volunteers working at new Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District facility. Today, we had a short lunch break and lots of recycling to do. It was an amazing experience - Joyce Brinar, Rick Strachan and Mac Langford met us at the truck and in a flurry of activity they had our recycling sorted into the proper totes. What a crew!

Then we went down the hill to the Take It or Leave It and four people came to help us off-load a couch. We were met with smiles from all the hard working people and we were actually 10 minutes early to our next appointment even though we had called ahead to say we would be late! What a crew ... thanks everyone – you’re the best!
