The contest is to encourage householders to recycle more regularly and it is a win-win situation for residents and the City. Residents can win cash prizes for recycling and the City collects lots more recycling tonnage which helps protect the environment for the future. Household addresses are selected in a random drawing. A City representative checks the bins at the houses in the order of the draw. Four households each month that have at least three different types of recycle material receive $50. The winners "caught recycling" are invited to the Lakeland Board of Commissioners meeting the following month for recognition by the Board, and to receive their checks. Items that can be recycled and qualify for the contest are glass, metal cans, aluminum cans, plastics (remove caps and leave labels attached), newspapers, and cardboard boxes broken down to fit inside the recycle bin.

This year’s focus is on changing perceptions about emergency preparedness and helping each community understand what it truly means to be READY. When preparing for a possible emergency situation, it’s important to prepare an emergency supply kit that includes basic needs for survival, develop a family emergency plan, and be informed about the different types of emergencies that may occur in this area and the appropriate ways to respond to them. Everyone should have disaster supply kits stored in accessible locations at home, at work and in your vehicle. Having emergency supplies readily available can reduce the impact of an earthquake, a terrorist incident, a pandemic or other emergency on you and your family. Prepare for an Emergency-Get a Kit and place the following items in it:
