Increased efforts<br />
for recycling<br />
Since the beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fairfield</strong>'s<br />
recycling efforts 16 years ago,<br />
residents have demonstrated<br />
environmental stewardship. During<br />
2008, <strong>Fairfield</strong> recycled more<br />
volume <strong>of</strong> materials than any other<br />
community in Butler County. In a<br />
friendly countywide recycling<br />
challenge, <strong>Fairfield</strong> is matched with<br />
the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> Oxford, which — on a<br />
per capita basis — edged <strong>Fairfield</strong> in<br />
last year’s competition. <strong>The</strong> toter<br />
concept may help <strong>Fairfield</strong> gain<br />
ground on its cross-county recycling<br />
rival. While the toter may allow<br />
fewer trips to the curb, there is great<br />
hope that each will be filled more<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten to promote recycling.<br />
Apartments/Condo<br />
dwellers can help<br />
Recycling efforts are not just for<br />
homeowners. Residents living in<br />
apartment or condominium<br />
campuses also can promote<br />
environmental stewardship by using<br />
recycling containers located near<br />
trash dumpsters. Recycling materials<br />
can also be dropped at a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
locations where large bins have been<br />
placed:<br />
■ Grange Park 268 Joe Nuxhall Way<br />
■ Water Works Park 5133 Groh Lane<br />
■ Point Pleasant Park 2001 Resor Road<br />
■ Community Arts Center 411 Wessel Drive<br />
■ Jungle Jim’s 5450 Dixie Highway<br />
■ <strong>Fairfield</strong> Aquatic Center 2605 <strong>August</strong>a Blvd.<br />
■ Tylersville Road 3610 Tylersville<br />
(between Bypass 4 and Seward Road)<br />
Those living in apartments and<br />
condominiums directly benefit from<br />
recycling as well as benefiting the<br />
environment. Since recycling<br />
reduces disposal costs, participating<br />
in recycling efforts can slow increases<br />
in rent or homeowner fees.<br />
