Part 6 of the Icon's recycling series
Where can you take items that your curbside recycling will not take? There are a surprising number of items that are recyclable, which Ada's curbside recycling service does not currently accept.
There may be additional locations in Ada where recycled items may be collected. If any of these are omitted from this story, please notify us at [email protected] and we will add that information.
Here is a list of the more common items that can be recycled elsewhere:
The next big event on Ada's calendar is the 33rd annual Ada Area Chamber of Commerce's Harvest and Herb Festival in downtown Ada, according to Deb Curlis, chamber director.
This year’s festival is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 15. As in past year’s, it will fill Ada’s Main Street from Highland to College.
The festival has 180 spaces available for vendors and so far over 130 spaces are signed-up. Crafters are encouraged to register as soon as possible to insure a booth.
Booths are 12 feet wide by 8 feet deep and are available while they last.
Is homecoming in the air at Ada High School? Looks like it. Here's today's announcements at AHS from the school website:
STUDENT-COUNCIL HOMECOMING: Guest request forms are available in the high school office for the Homecoming dance, Sept. 15. If you are planning to bring a date who does not attend Ada High School, this form needs to be filled out and returned to the high school office by Sept. 14, by 3:30 pm. Also, school fees will need to be paid before a ticket can be purchased.
There is a slight change in the times that presale football tickets will be sold at the Ada High School office this fall. Tickets will be sold from noon until 3:30 p.m. on Thursdays and from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Fridays.
Presale tickets are $4 for students and $5 for adults. Tickets at the gate are $6 for students and adults.
