This year the “Tipping Fee” (the cost to dump our trash at the Rochester Landfill) is increasing from $74.15 to $76.38 per ton.~ This is further incentive to use our recycling facility to sort the recyclables out of your trash. Most citizens do a great job of recycling, as recycling revenue totaled $82,451 last fiscal year!~ Still, there are hundreds of dollars of recyclables weekly not being taken out of the trash.~ Please pass the word to your neighbors, Recycling Pays!!! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Are You Talking to Me?
The Language of Dogs and Cats Wednesday, February 22 7:00 p.m.
Have you ever wondered what your pet was trying to say to you? Dog and cats are talking to us all the time, but unfortunately their message often is lost in translation. Miscommunication leads to poor training, behavior problems like aggressive behavior, and fatal blows to the human-animal bond. This review of canine and feline communication will discuss how dogs and cats use scent, vocalization, and body language to communicate.
