Due to current tax revenue shortfalls, the City of Cincinnati is considering cutting recycling from the 2010 budget. We need your help to let Council know that not only do we value recycling for its environmental benefits, but that it saves the city money and creates jobs - making it extremely important to maintain and even expand in these times.
How can you help? It's so easy to do one or all of these steps and it will just take a moment of your time.
1. SEND a message to the 9 Council members and the Mayor with just one easy form:

2. SIGN the petition which will be delivered to the Council:
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/cincinnatirecycling/
3. ATTEND a public budget hearing to show your support. Be sure to wear a green shirt to show solidarity and be a visual indicator of public support for recycling. The more people we have at these two meetings, the better chance we can convince council:
a) Wednesday, December 9 6:00pm Hirsch Rec Center (Avondale)
b) Tuesday, December 15 6:00pm Pleasant Ridge Community Center
4. JOIN the Facebook page to stay updated and to get the image you can use as your profile picture to let everyone know you support recycling in Cincinnati:
