Standard. recyclables, such as newspaper, cardboard, cans, bottles etc., are also accepted. Mattresses and box springs in any condition will be accepted. New materials accepted this year include carpeting and textiles.

Construction of the Highway 10, and Armstrong Boulevard interchange project should be complete by the end of May. All signal systems on Armstrong Boulevard/CR 83 are scheduled to be activated and fully operational by May 13. Appropriation for CASH 56. The latest Senate bonding proposal includes an appropriation of $1,500,000 for the CSAH 56 RR grade separation project. This is a,good place holder for the city project, but it still needs to make it into the final legislation that will be determined via joint conference committee with the House. The dollar amount is much smaller than the initial request. of $1 OM, but would cover a significant portion of the design costs. Design work is estimated to take about 12 months, allowing time to determine our success in getting a federal grant, and to apply for additional state money next session if needed.
