This week is recycling week for the City of Indianola, and the city is encouraging residents to sort their recycling from their trash to help the process. City Manager Ben Reeves tells KNIA News without being properly sorted, a lot will be thrown away.

“The important thing to probably stress here is to our residents, a significant portion, almost 30% of our recycling, actually gets tossed because people don’t segregate their trash appropriately and the recycling gets contaminated. So we really just want to encourage all of our residents to take a look at the Waste Management website and what is accepted waste so things can be recycled properly.”
