(Greenfield, Iowa) – Changes with regard to recycling are coming to the Adair County. During a meeting this (Wednesday) morning in Greenfield of the Adair County Board of Supervisors, Board Chair Matt Wedemeyer explained the recycling bins will no longer be accepting plastic products, beginning in August.

He said it is costing the County money to take-in the plastic.

The Adair County Supervisors, Wednesday, met the Summer Seasonal Environmental Education Naturalist. Sabrina Ann Becker, from Stuart, said her position is made possible through ISU Extension and AmeriCorps. She spoke about her plans and activities for the Summer, including grade appropriate camps.

Becker recently completed her Freshman year at ISU, and began her duties in Adair County on May 16th. Becker is expected to work through the end of August, and not just for Adair County.

In his report to the Board, Adair County Conservation Director Dominic Johnson said the camping season got off to a slow start due to the cold and wet conditions, but this past week was very busy.

As of today (Wednesday), Johnson said the campgrounds have brought-in over $4,000 in revenue, for a total of $44,268.

He said also, tent camping is just not as popular as it used to be, but those who do still camp that way, like to use the pads with electrical sites. Johnson said the camping pads at Lake Orient have been re-rocked with four loads of crushed rock. More is expected to be delivered Thursday. And, during the Summer, his Department will be working on assembling park kiosks and parking barricades.
