Local Tips & Community Info
Got Bottles and Cans in Midway? Turn Them into Cash!
Hey there, Midway neighbors! While our regular recycling bins are great for keeping things tidy, did you know you can actually get a little something back for certain items? In Florida, we have a state-wide program that gives you a refund for specific beverage containers. Look for the 'Florida Code' or 'FL' on aluminum cans and plastic bottles (typically 2-liter size or smaller). You can take these to local redemption centers or even some grocery stores that participate. It's a little extra green for going green!
Giving Your Gently Used Stuff a Second Life in Midway
Before you toss that perfectly good armchair or those clothes that just don't fit anymore, think about donating them! It's a fantastic way to help out folks right here in our community. While there might not be a super-sized thrift store *in* Midway itself, check out nearby areas like Tallahassee for places like the Big Bend Habitat for Humanity ReStore. They often accept furniture, appliances, and home goods, giving them a new home and supporting a good cause. Even local churches or community centers sometimes have donation drives.
Keeping Midway Beautiful: Reporting Trashy Behavior & Special Clean-Up Days
Nobody likes seeing trash dumped where it doesn't belong, right? If you ever spot illegal dumping in or around Midway, it's super important to report it. You can usually do this by calling the Gadsden County solid waste department or public works. They have ways to handle these situations and keep our town looking its best. Keep an eye out for community clean-up events too – they're a great chance to get out, meet your neighbors, and make a real difference in keeping Midway spick and span.
