6 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2016 ASK A MASTER RECYCLER S USY L ACER , M ASTER R ECYCLER A MONTHLY COLUMN OF RECYCLING INFORMATION PROVIDED BY F LORENCE M ASTER R ECYCLERS For the Siuslaw News (A monthly column of recycling information provided by Florence Master Recyclers) Q. I ordered some new equipment that came surrounded in Styrofoam packaging. Where can I recycle that? A. The St. Vincent de Paul thrift store, at 2315 Highway 101, accepts block Styrofoam for recycling. This is the solid, rigid foam only. The more lightweight, flexible foam, like from meat trays at the gro- cery store, is not recyclable in our area and must go in the trash. Please consider packaging when making purchases of any kind! Also, while we're talking about foam products, clean Styrofoam packing peanuts can be dropped off at local shipping stores for reuse. Q. I heard something about a food recycling movie being shown in town. When is it? And where? A. Thursday, Sept. 8, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., in the Port of Siuslaw confer- ence room, at 80 Harbor St. This is the regular meeting time of the Florence Master Recyclers. Our Lane County Waste Management trainer, Kelly Bell, has arranged to show an eye-opening documentary called “Just Eat It — A Food Waste Yachats to celebrate 100th, 50th anniversaries YACHATS — In celebra- tion of the 100th and 50th Anniversaries of Yachats, the Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences will host Lincoln County Commissioner Bill Hall and author Joanne Kittel to help celebrate the occasion. Presentations will take place Sunday, July 17, at 2 p.m., at the Yachats Commons. July 2016 is the 100th anniversary of Oceanview changing its name to Yachats. It is also the 50th anniversary of when Yachats was incor- porated as the City of Yachats. Kittel will speak about the Native Americans who fre- quented this area for cen- turies. Living off the abun- dance of the land, rivers and ocean, the Ya’Xaik peoples, a southern branch of the Alsea Peoples, were able to survive and thrive. When this area was opened up for homesteading, the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Alsea Peoples were incarcer- ated at the Alsea Sub-Agency in what became Yachats. Kittel has been instrumen- tal in bringing truth and rec- onciliation between Tribal People and the Yachats com- munity, resulting in profound transcendence. Hall will speak about the changes that took place when homesteaders and settlers started moving into the area, following Yachats history to present day, as Yachats con- tinues to change with new residents and new busi- nesses. Each speaker will be given 30 minutes for their presenta- tion, with a 15-minute ques- tion and answer follow-up. There is no admission charge for this presentation, although a $5 donation would help cover publicity expenses. For more information, visit www.YachatsAcademy.org, or www.GoYachats.com or call 541-961-6695. Story.” Kelly will be showing the 50- minute version of the film, with a dis- cussion and light snacks to follow. You can view a short preview at this link: www.vimeo.com/140226873.

The local Habitat ReStore, at 2016 Highway 101, is part of the PaintCare paint-collection program. This free program accepts partial or full cans of architectural paint, stain, primer, sealers, lacquers and varnish- es. You can drop off acceptable paint products at the collection bin behind the ReStore, Tuesdays through Saturdays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Do not bring: Leaking or lidless containers, aerosol paints, paint thin- ner, mineral spirits, solvents, auto or marine paints, additives, colorants, tints, resins, roof patch and repair, deck cleaners, caulking or glues, epoxies, adhesives, wood preserva- tives containing pesticides, 2-com- pound coatings, tar and bitumen- based products, industrial mainte- nance coating, or original equipment manufacturer paints and finishes. Reusable paint materials are sold in the ReStore, reducing unnecessary waste and offering quality paint at very low prices. Paint that is not resellable is trans- ported to a facility for energy recov- ery, fuel and reuse. Visit www.paintcare.org for more reduce and reuse tips.
