***Garbage to Garden Kiosk has MOVED***
The Garbage to Garden Kiosk has been permanently moved its new location to the entrance to the Municipal Offices on Village Square Road.
When it comes to recycling, one of the worst things you can do is wishcycle. That’s when we optimistically put non-recyclable objects in recycling bins. When we do this, we contaminate whole loads of otherwise recyclable materials.
“A lot of people wish that this material can be recycled, and it seems like it’s made out of the materials that could be recycled, but sometimes it’s not,” says Helen Lee.
Cities have certain thresholds to meet when they send their recyclables to third-party waste management companies. If they surpass these thresholds — in other words, if there’s too much trash mixed into the recycling load — that entire load could end up in a landfill.
So when you wishcycle, you screw up the entire system.
Solution: Don’t wishcycle.

Let's Look Back: Remembering and Sharing Stories from the Past 2nd Tuesdays (Next up: Tuesday, May 10) , 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. In the community room of Westcustago Hall & North Yarmouth Community Center.
Remember when phones were actually dialed (or, better yet, when you shared a "party line"?). When Sunday dinner with family was a weekly event? When Elvis wore blue suede shoes?
Let's Look Back is a conversation about those times we remember in our early years, shared with people who remember them, too.
Facilitator Amy Hatch is eager to hear stories from people who were there, back when ... She is a licensed social worker and lives with her husband and son in Cumberland.
Teatime AudioStories: A Read-Aloud and Social Group for Seniors 2nd and 4th Thursdays at 11 a.m. (Next up: Thursday, April 28) In the community room of Westcustago Hall & North Yarmouth Community Center.
Bring some busy work or just bring yourself. Relax and listen to a short story or an essay read aloud by Kelly Greenlee, a librarian at Prince Memorial Library. What a great way to spend an afternoon.
