A new recycling effort at Saline Summerfest was declared a success by Saline City Counci's liaison to the Saline Environmental Commission.
Councillor Jim Dell'Orco reported on the Summerfest recycling program to city council Monday night.
Summerfest, a two-day festival held Aug. 12-13 in Saline, contracted Schupan, a recycling company with 15 locations in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, to collect recyclables.
"I am pleased to report we had great success with a new vendor," Dell'Orco told council.
Dell'Orco said as a result of the partnership, 77 pounds of cardboard, 49 pounds of glass and 165 pounds of plastic and aluminum were recycled.
"I'm very proud of this initiative," Dell'Orco said. "These amounts would have ended up in the landfill had Summerfest not put forth the effort to recycle."
Dell'Orco commended the efforts of Summerfest chair Paul Hynek and Saline Environmental Commission Al Hodge. Hodge brought Schupan to the attention of Summerfest organizers.
The environmental commission worked with Oktoberfest to get the Schupan recycling program at this weekend's festival.
Dell'Orco said he hopes the commission can work to bring the same recycling effort to the Saline Celtic Festival next week.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
