clothing recycling for curbside pickup begins the week of Nov 11

Electronics Recycling - Nov 16

As many are aware, I do a lot of walking around Franklin and that helps me to find out what is going on. Sometimes I am in the right place at the right time (think train stuck on the Union St. tracks this week). Sometimes, I find something that is filed for future use or more research. I call all this activity  "reporting by walking around."

One such walk found the signs set up around the former Charter School (former St Mary's School) announcing the electronics recycling event scheduled for November 16. This event will also recycle bicycles.

When: Saturday, November 16 from 9 AM to 2 PM
Where: school parking lot at corner of Main and Pleasant Streets

In the News: Senator Rausch looks back on 1st year; MassBay Communty College schedules open house

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

The warrant for Needham’s Town Meeting in May 2017 was 122 pages long and included 65 articles.

In addition to major zoning bylaws limiting residential development and a proposal to ban recreational marijuana stores, the warrant included a pair of articles to fund construction of a new $15 million public pool that would narrowly pass.

A year after she was elected to the state Legislature, Sen. Rebecca Rausch, D-Needham, remembered participating in the pool debate during that Town Meeting – her first as an elected local representative – and said it set the course for the start of her career on Beacon Hill.

“I continue to come back to that as a great example of why elections matter, representation matters and local government matters,” she said. “Many people think of Needham as an exclusively affluent town, and the exclusivity part of that is just not true – plenty of people can’t afford to join a country club, which was one of the arguments that was made.”
