The 2020 Census is looking for Census workers in your area.  As President of Maplewood Community, and a neighborhood leader we were wondering if you could help out by notifying residents. We have small posters, flyers or cards about the Census jobs that can be emailed or dropped off to you.
 
The pay rate is between $18.50 and $25.00 per hour. This is a temporary job. To apply for a Census Job, go to: www.2020census.gov/jobs and select Apply Now.

Prevent Recycling Contamination

Did you know plastic bags contaminate your recycling bin?

Plastic bags get tangled in sorting machinery and are NOT recyclable in curbside bins or ACDEM’s Community Recycling Drop off Sites. Other contaminants include food, liquid, cords, and garden hose.

Recycle items loose! DO NOT bag your recyclables in plastic bags or place plastic bags in your recycling bin. Help us prevent recycling contamination in Allen County by reviewing the Dos and Don’ts of recycling in ACDEM’s 2019-2020 Waste Watcher Guide. We appreciate your recycling efforts!
