WHAT'S NEW

	We now have The Worm Box composting bins from Nature's Footprint for sale at the Solid Waste District Office or at Thompson's Sanitary Service for only $42. Reduce your trash by recycling your food wastewith this easy to use tiered system. A 16-pageinstruction manual is included along with everything you will need to get started. We provide you with a vermiculture system at cost, and you provide the food waste and worms.

	Donate those shoes you never wear. Disaster victims and those in need will love you forhaving a decent pair of shoes to wear. Thanks to Lincoln County residents generosity we have already reached 98.4% of our goal. We will certainly exceeded our goal by a large margin by the time this event ended January 31st. Collection boxes can be found at the following locations: Depoe Bay - City Hall Lincoln City - Community Center Newport - BOSS/KCUP Radio Newport - Courthouse 2nd floor Newport - Pick of the Litter Siletz - CTSI administration Bldg Toledo - Library Ray's Market in Waldport is no longer collecting shoes so we want to thank them for their participation. Also, the Pick of the Litter store in Newport is providing shoes that do not otherwise sell.

	Reusable Mugs and Water Bottles are an effective way to reduce waste, and avoid the environmental problems associated with using too many "one-time-use" paper, plastic and Styrofoam (yuck) cups. Follow us on twitter for a chance to win a reusable mug or bottle of your own (@green_buddha)

	Those old worn out athletic shoes can have another full life. Your shoes can be converted into Nike Grind which is used for a number of surfaces (tracks, basketball courts, etc.) Collection bins are available at: Lincoln City Community Center Newport Recreation Center

	Portable Recycling Stations Available If you are planning an event and want to provide recycling we now have Clear Stream portable recycling stations for plastic bottles, cans and paper. These stations are available on loan to responsible groups or organizations that want to do the right thing and reduce their waste as much as possible. Please call 541-265-4171 for more information. We have a limited number of stations so please call well ahead of events you are planning.
