ALERT!Racetrac has asked that the City Council hearing be postponed to September 24, 2012. The Council will probably agree so put September 24 on your calendars. FYI from Robert: In the City Council agenda that is posted online, it says that Racetrac is asking for a postponement, but it also says that when it is presented they want the council to not accept the “compromise” that P & Z adopted but to remove the restriction completely. It will take a 3/4 majority of the council to do so. I will attend Monday night just to make sure it is passed, but it is interesting that they still want to remove the restriction, after they told us that they could live with it.

Recycling Program InformationHello. My name is Kim Soto and I am the Residential Recycling Education Coordinator for the City of Plano. Later this fall we will be rolling out an exciting new campaign to promote recycling in Plano. In conjunction with the campaign, we are offering expanded educational opportunities for our residents. We would love the opportunity to come and speak at any meeting or activities you host for your residents. The presentations are short and focused on what materials you can place in your recycling cart. We have discovered that most Plano residents are enthusiastic recyclers, but have a list of nagging questions that they need to get answered. Our educators can answer these questions, help set up residents with a second (free) recycling cart and share other helpful hints to make recycling easier for everyone. Outreach efforts will take off in the fall. Call or email now to set up at time to have an educator come to your next meeting.
