Our city is proud to offer monthly trash pickup, every-other-day recycling pickup, and composting services. Are you in the present moment with us? Vibe a bit longer, then see when your intuition says to place the compost at the curb—that will be the correct time. But how do you know which items belong in which bin? It simply couldn’t be simpler.
Glass Recycling
Blue glass bottles must be carefully shattered and tumbled to add to our gorgeous city’s pebbly beach. A carpool takes glass pebbles to the shoreline on the harvest moon. Clear glass bottles can be placed directly into the yellow glass bin. Glass bottles with metallic fasteners and tops can be reused to make an upcycled bouquet holder.
Metal Recycling
Do you own a jeweler’s magnifying glass? A set of reusable silicone swabs? You’ll need both to ensure the metal cans you recycle are spotless, or our friendly crew will accept your refusal to learn these simple guidelines as an invitation for our junior bagpiper’s team to practice in your yard. Your neighbors will absolutely love hearing their glorious drone.

We are very excited to announce that the 14th Australian International Political Economy Network (AIPEN) workshop will be held at the Australian National University on February 7-9, 2024.
Sponsored by the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), and the Department of International Relations, the organising themes will broadly (but not exclusively) pertain to “Political Economy in an Age of Crises: Rethinking Power, Practice, and Regulatory Purpose.” Over the past quarter century, crises have been the rule, rather than the exception, posing challenges for regulators across “fast moving” discrete events like the Asian Financial Crises, the Global Financial Crisis, the COVID pandemic and “slow moving” or existential concerns for climate change, global health, and new technologies spanning social media through the rise of artificial intelligence.
Kennedy, bereft of a moral compass and a belief system rooted in verifiable fact, has not only failed the Palestinians, he has failed us.
