Down at the recycle center, late one weekend day,
All the bins were lined up, sorted just right.
Then who crept in sneering with a mischievous pinch?
Why, that green, grumpy thief — the Recycle Grinch.

He didn’t want toys, or roast beast, or cheer,
He wanted all the old mowers and metal scrap.
He grabbed the mower that he thought looked just right.
Muttering, “Reduce? Reuse? I’ll reuse this—ha-ha!”

We ask if you could not the be recycle Grinch, and know that it is not just the recycle center that you stole from, it's also all the "Who's" in our committee.
Thank you Rome-Floyd Recycle.

The contestant took home a push mower, we congratulate you on your choice of wanting a new cardio program. But we would like to say that there is a no scavenging sign posted on the property.

We want to wish Ms. Emma Wells the best of luck in her new adventures with the new chapter of her life. She has been a huge part of the work that we do here at Rome-Floyd Recycle Center. She will be missed greatly.
