Meet Ricky

Ricky, the Recycling Raccoon, our symbol for the city’s residential recycling program, is here to encourage us to “Make a Difference.” 

About

The seemingly endless bounty of America’s riches sometimes makes us forget the importance of being good stewards and preserving and protecting our natural resources. 

Going to Schools

Ricky appears at promotions around the city and at schools in the area to promote stewardship, waste reduction, and recycling.
