Call him a recycling evangelist.
Every morning, Chris White hits the streets, checking the trash and recycling habits of his fellow residents.
He begins at 8 a.m., aligning his schedule with trash collection, to see how well people are recycling.
If they are doing a good job, White hangs a thank-you tag on their doorknob, and suggests a few additional things they can do to keep trash out of landfills, said White, the part-time recycling coordinator for the Department of Public Works.
Non-recyclers get another tag on their doors, urging them to change their wasteful ways, and he adds a little sticker explaining what steps they can take to get started, such as picking up free bins at the DPW.
"The great thing about Franklin is, you can put out as much recycling as you want. So if you have 40 bins of papers, we'll take that, but you can only take out three barrels of trash," White said.
