GARNETT — A recycling bin could be offered to Garnett residents as a test run. The Anderson County Review reports that City Manager Joyce Martin receives frequent requests for a recycling bin in the city. Martin says the county rotates a recycling bin between some of the other cities, and demand for the bin is high and the county would have difficulty finding time to locate it in Garnett. She says because Garnett residents live closer to the county landfill, the county gives priority to the other cities. The Farmers’ Market’s Rosanna Bauman suggested placing a bin near Main Street and the Prairie Spirit Trail, where the Farmers’ Market is located. A recycling bin offers containers for different types of recyclable material. The containers would be taken to the county’s transfer station at the landfill. A recycling bin could cost up to $10,000, but Martin says the city’s refuse department has enough money in its reserve fund to buy a bin.
