by Rebecca Kottler-Wein 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

We're a young, soon-to-be-married couple looking for a house in the Highland Park neighborhood. We haven't signed on with a realtor yet, but are planning to soon. If you or any of your neighbors are thinking about moving in the coming months, we'd love to hear from you. Ideally, we'd like to move in either spring or early summer 2011. Please feel free to be in touch for more details. Nick and Becca

[Highland Park] Rechargeable battery recycling
by Guido Giuntini 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

You can now recycle rechargeable batteries at the Nuin Center at 5655 Bryant Street in the "call2recycle" box located in the lobby. How do you know if a battery is rechargeable? Look for "recycle", "rechargeable" or Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Ni-Zn, Li-ion or Pb imprinted on the battery or pack. This includes lap top batteries. Then, just put each battery into its own bag (available at the recycling box) - one battery per bag - tie the bag and put it in the box. Easy. There is another box at Nuin for cell phone recycling that benefits the Women's Shelter.
