Michael has also worked hard to help the Siesta Key Village Association choose the correct program to bring recycling trash receptacles to the village. In addition, he can be seen in the early morning darkness picking up trash along Ocean Boulevard and in the Village. To think I used to be puzzled by the strange cans and bottles that found their way into my recycling bin on trash mornings. Thank you, Michael.
