We were really excited to be featured on WDSU TV 6 news on December 28th in a story called “Push for Return of Recycling.” Darryl Malek-Wiley was interviewed, pointing out that in 2007, City Council voted 7-0 saying we want curbside recycling started back up, and that the current administration has not lived up to that. See the story online here!

At our next meeting: we’ll know for sure who’s running for mayor. Join us, and bring your neighbors and friends, to:
- Find out about public community meetings where you can publicly ask the candidates where they stand on recycling.
- Sign up for canvassing, phone-banking, house-party-hosting and letter-to-the-editor writing.
- Go on camera to discuss why recycling should be brought back to New Orleans.
- Make your own NOLA Recycles 2010 t-shirt. Just bring an old shirt that you’d like to recycle, and we’ll silk-screen it onsite.
- Make your own NOLA Recycles 2010 postcards and yard signs. If you see any yard signs that are placed in illegal areas (like neutral grounds), remove them and bring them to the meeting.
