RIDWELL REMINDER: Join in on Ridwell Prep at 4 p.m. Monday, August 12! It’s fun!! The next featured item is disposable coffee lids (like from a coffee shop) and straws. They must be clean, no lipstick etc. Please drop off your items by noon on August 12. Keep saving other items for future pickups including: corks, bread tags, assorted plastic caps and electronics. Ridwell also just added prescription medication bottles, so start saving those too! Continue to bag all items and place in labeled bins. A reminder about styrofoam for Ridwell: it needs to be CLEAN, no tape or labels and RIGID (if you bend it, it breaks) softer types of styrofoam are no longer accepted. Please rinse out your soil bags and chip bags! Questions: Sue Asinger (612-703-2297,  sueasinger@yahoo.com). Thanks for all you do for our earth!
