I’m glad that the people of Sedalia have embraced their recycling center. The bins out at Thompson Hills Shopping Center always fill up quickly and during the day they can’t go a few minutes without getting another dropper. They’re especially busy on the weekends.
The people are using them but there are some people who would like to see the program get expanded. There are some people who would like to see a third drop-off point to go along with Thompson Hills and Main Street, which are both on the west side of town.
