Sarasota News Leader November 22, 2013 Page 119 Siesta Seen As part of his latest initiatives, Shay not only is organizing another Adopt-a-Road event on Nov. 23 — as reported in this space last week — he also remains at work on the effort to implement a recycling program in Siesta Village. He provided the Siesta Key Village Association (SKVA) an update on the latter at the group's Nov. 5 regular meeting. Shay — who represents the SKA at the SKVA sessions — reported that he had contacted Waste Management and learned the firm does not provide recycling bins for curbside use. However, he said, the company will put another dumpster or carts in the municipal parking lot, which is located between Avenida Madera and Avenida de Mayo. "They do not want to get involved in the curbside stuff," Shay added of Waste Management representatives. Village Café will provide a free breakfast at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23, for Adopt-ARoad volunteers. (Organizers suggest heavy tipping.) The trash cleanup effort will begin at 9 a.m. Photo by Norman Schimmel Michael Shay of Siesta Key displays his Volunteer of the Year award from Keep Sarasota County Beautiful. Photo by Norman Schimmel
