RFPs Requested by June 4, 2012

The Rush County Solid Waste Management District aka Clean Green Rush is requesting proposals for the demolition and removal of a building located on property formerly known as White Felt.  Click on title to download RFP information.

Citizens Advisory Committee
Clean Green Rush invites anyone interested in keeping Rush County CLEAN and GREEN to join in our monthly conversation and offer your ideas on environmental projects.  Your participation in those projects is especially encouraged.   After a couple of meetings now, we are seeing a few new faces, which is very encouraging.  We have made progress on establishing a Green Business Network, glass recycling, and recycling around the ball diamonds this summer. 

Other ideas included a community garden, expanding walking trails and a locavore dinner.  (A locavore dinner  event would be a meal served with only foods grown in or very near Rush County as a fundraiser for food pantry, to create awareness of eating healthy from trusted food sources, and reducing your carbon footprint as a result).  Those ideas have not progressed due to the lack of a leader willing to help pursue.   They could still happen, especially if you are willing to assist.

Maybe you have an idea or just want to enhance those we have brought forth. Either way, join us. We'll meet in the Rushville Elks Dining Room located at 223 E. 3rd Street on Thursday, May 4, 2012, 6:30 p.m.  The dining room is not serving on Thursday; however it is WINGS night in the bar so food and beverage are available.  Easy access can be made using the back door opposite the city parking lot.  Email:  recycle@rushcounty.in.gov or call office 765-932-1342 for more informatin.

New Collection in 2012 - Freezers, Refrigerators, and A/C

CGR - recycle appliancesRush County residents may bring freezers, refrigerators, air conditioning units, and other products containing refrigerant gasses to the Clean Green Rush Tox-Away Center for recycling. Since this is a new service, there is no charge; however it is only available from 8 a.m. to noon on the first Saturday of each month. No longer will residents have to wait until a special

spring or fall collection of proper disposal.

Clean Green Rush continues its partnership with the City of Rushville in operating the Tox-Away Center at Smiley Avenue. Street Department employee, Bill Emerson is licensed to remove and recycle the refrigerants in an environmentally approved process.

Still Taking Electronics for Recycling

Another partner for helping to keep Rush County Clean and Green is Shares, Inc. Their truck stops each month and collects

electronics (anything with a circuit board) dropped off at the Tox-Away Center on the first Saturday morning of every month. Residents will still be asked to pay $5 for a monitor; $10 for a television 27” and under; and $20 for a television over 27”; all other electronics will be accepted at no cost.

  Keeping Rush County Clean and Green is more than one-day collection events, classroom programs and recycling plastic, paper, metal and glass. It is a lifestyle of caring about the place we live enough to do the little things daily that protect the environment and maintain the legacy of 205,000 acres of prime cropland and the communities it helps to support
