City Staff Volunteers



The Mayor, City Manger and other department heads spent last Saturday morning volunteering at the Centralia Community Recycling Center. Volunteers at the center help unload paper, glass, plastic and cardboard recyclables from the vehicles of the center patrons, and sorting these into separate containers.

The Centralia community Recycling Center is operated by Keep Centralia Beautiful, which sells these bulk recyclables to pay for the operation of the center, including one full-time and two part-time employees. Keep Centralia Beautiful (also known as Clean & Green) also organizes two annual city-wide cleanups in the fall and spring and works tirelessly to teach children and the community to plant trees, prevent littering, and to recycle.

The Communty Recycling Center is open to receive donations Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, and Saturday mornings. to find out how your family or community group can help, call Keep Centralia Beautiful Coordinator Bev Virobik at 532-8430.

That's really interesting how the Assistant City Manager and the Business Development Manager have recently departed. Has it been mentioned and heard around town about 'resume building'? Another thing to consider, why are these positions not being filled or going to be filled again? Doesn't this say something about their necessity in the first place? Also, the Business Development Manager already had a degree in order to qualify for the job, it's admirable that she is continuing her education, but at KC? What kind of advanced degree can she get there? Kind of henky with her 'resigning' and all if you ask me.
