EARTH ANGEL

There are many ways to be creative in recycling, and there is no limit to how an individual can help. “Encourage your neighbors to recycle. Volunteer to help the elderly take their recycling to the curbside. Recycle, together, as a family. Take the initiative to start something great,” the Hot Springs Solid Waste Department said.

Due to the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, there will be no Solid Waste collection for residential garbage, leaf/ mulch and recycling on Monday. Those pickups will be one day behind schedule, beginning Tuesday; for example, Monday’s collection will run on Tuesday.
