On Monday, March 24th at the City Council meeting, Mayor Virginia Hillman announced a short term pilot curbside recycling program which is going to be with a company based in Heber Springs. The project will gage the utilization of this service in the Gap Creek Subdivision. Please encourage your friends and neighbors living in this area to participate.
Mayor Hillman stated that if participation was good that this could go Citywide and that our city was the only incorporated city within Pulaski County to not offer this service. Rest assured, Mayor Hillman also pointed out that if this does go Citywide, that our garbage rates will not go up.
This is just another example of forward-thinking by our Mayor. If you get a moment, please contact her to let her know that you appreciate her allowing this test program to take place and to encourage her to take this city-wide! This could help reduce our tipping fees at the local landfill, and help the environment at the same time.

I am for the recycling, but don't tell me it is free and raise the garbage rates in a couple of years because of expenses going up.
