Recycle in Mt. Airy
Weavers Way Community Programs, in conjunction with the Mt. Airy Community Services Corporation continues its monthly recycling at the Lutheran Home (6959 Germantown Avenue). Collecting recyclables from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturday, all proceeds benefit beautification programs within the Mt. Airy neighborhood.
The list of recyclables accepted includes plastics, (No. 1 and No. 2, rinsed, crushed, and without lids), mixed paper, cardboard boxes, newspapers, magazines, junk mail, catalogs, office paper and cereal boxes. Note, take-out containers, plant pots, buckets, or plastics that contained automotive products are unable to be processed (so please, save for future recycling.)
Society Hill Clean Up Day
In Society Hill, look for street sweepers early Saturday morning. The Society Hill Civic Association has organized the street cleaning, and asks residents to follow parking instructions for best results. Watch for street sweepers between Front and 8th Streets and Walnut and Lombard Streets, from 8 a.m. until noon.

There is clearly a problem with littering in the city, and it's up to the individual citizens of Philadelphia to clean up after themselves. I believe Michael Nutter said something to this effect while on the campaign trail. It's good advice, and it's breaking down the trash problem into simplistic terms. The less people who litter, the less trash. Future generations learn from example too, so if kids see adults littering, they will think nothing of it to throw a wrapper on the ground. More trash recepticals would help too, not just in the center city area but more widespread through out the city. It's simple things like this that could make a big difference, and doesn't require any legislation or approval to get a jump start on.
