Green Pieces Recycling visited Fun-N-Learning Daycare in Locust recently to teach the children about what it means to recycle trash and take care of the earth. Fun-N-Learning uses Green Pieces services at the center and felt it would be a good way to show the children why they collect daily items to recycle. Green Pieces showed his recycling truck, how to crush and break down recyclables, and where it goes once it leaves businesses, homes, and community. His mascot “Binny” the Recycling Bin came out to enjoy the festivities as well. The children spent the week talking about recycling in honor of Earth Day.

From Locust Administrator James Inman:

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the death of former Mayor and present Council Member Wilson Barbee.  Council Member Barbee has and will continue to be a driving force within this community and we all feel his loss deeply.  I ask that you pray for his family and ask that God will provide comfort to them during this time.  No arrangements have been made at this time.
