It was recycling Saturday at the Algonquin Township Highway Department.
I took our big tubed television for disposal.
Figured since the last time I watched TV on this set it was for the show “24” that was long enough ago to indicate that its future use was probably non-existent.
Flat screens are in.
Cathode ray tube television are out of date.
I arrived about 8:45 and saw only one other vehicle.
It was a pick-up truck far ahead of me.
I notice the lanes that had been laid out with traffic cones.
There was room for lots of cars and trucks, but no one was in them.
Can we recycle Kenneally-the Squeally?
Goes to show you that people aren’t desperate for recycling. Townships aren’t the only game in town that provide recycling.

Just so you know Cal that Tube TV’s are in with the gaming community. When they have gaming tournaments they like to use Tube TV’s because the flat screens are not fast enough to keep up with the gamers. Don’t know about gaming but what I have heard.
I can speculate 2 reasons for the low turnout:
1. The demand does not exist.
2. The NWH article claiming recycling was abandoned did a great disservice to residents of Algonquin Township.
If it is the first, the program should be reduced in frequency or eliminated.
If it is the second, residents who were going to utilize the service but did not should contact the paper.
I’m waiting for Township Government to expand into providing low cost (for me and every illegal alien, but not low cost for the taxpayer) dentistry as well as sexual re-assignment surgery and moto-cross racing.
Townships are great!
Unless you pay taxes!
I think Meghan gave 2 good possible reasons.
I would add the possibility that 3. with the expansions that were made to recycling, people might be running out of junk to dump.
I know I am.
I am grateful for the recycling improvements.
I had no idea what a treasure was available until Andrew Gasser took over, and made resident’s aware through the website, and social media.
