• A new tool is here to answer your recycling questions (axios.com) — Pinecrest residents can now use the new Recyclepedia tool to quickly check which items are accepted in the village’s recycling program, including yogurt containers and glass bottles. The online platform, created by local nonprofit Dream in Green, lets you choose your municipality, learn rules for curbside and specialty items, and play interactive games that make recycling clearer for the whole family.
