Bluffton council takes a breather tonight. After holding sessions where the mayor resigned, a new mayor was appointed, and a sidewalk ordinance was approved, tonight's agenda appears to be pretty light.

Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, reports that 33.07 tons of refuse was dumped in the Spring Street Recycling Center in May.

As the Bluffton area prepares for the Relay for Life event on Friday, June 20, downtown businesses are showing their support. 

The Relay planning committee has hung shoes above store fronts. Purple is the official color for this year’s theme: Believe.

The shoes remind everyone of the battle that cancer patients face each day while fighting this disease.  The Relay for Life event format encourages everyone to “walk a mile in support of cancer research.”

33.07 tons of refuse in the dumpsters

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 16, 2014 - 9:58am

News flash:

During the May clean up the village reports 33.07 tons of refuse was collected over a two-week period at the Spring Street recycling center.

Using an estimated figure of 4,000 residents in Bluffton, how many pounds of crap was dumped per resident during spring clean up? First off, 33.07 tons is 72,906 pounds. The answer is 18.2 pounds.

This fact begs the question: Is every person in Bluffton – babe in arms to elder at Maple Crest –  collecting 18.2 pounds of junk each year, or slightly over 1.5 pounds per month?
