The City of Adrian Recycling Center, located at 300 S. McCulloh Street, Adrian, MO, will resume its 24/7 operating hours starting today. Adrian residents are once again encouraged to bring their recyclable materials at any time to contribute to the city’s ongoing sustainability efforts.
"We understand that the temporary disruption to our recycling services caused inconvenience to our residents, and we appreciate their patience," said Ryan Wescoat, City Administrator. "The staffing issues were with our partner who handles the processing of the collected material. We have been in close contact with them, and they have assured us that the staffing levels are now sufficient to handle the recycling flow from Adrian. We are happy that this issue has been resolved. We are also happy to be able to offer 24/7 service again to the citizens of Adrian."
This situation highlights the city's reliance on external partnerships for essential services, and the city will continue to monitor the services provided by these partners.
The trailers located at the recycling center clearly display the types of recyclable materials accepted.
"We are very glad to be able to provide this service to our citizens again, and especially to be able to allow them to drop off their recyclable items at any time." added Ryan Wescoat, City Administrator. "We encourage everyone to participate in the recycling program."

Traffic was light around the Butler Airport last week, even though flying weather was intermittently favorable, when the gusty winds abated. Over the past months, since the fuel system was shut down, we’ve seen a decline in transient traffic. Obviously, not having fuel available makes a difference.
The Bellanca 7KBA Citabria that had been taking refuge here for a couple of weeks finally got to depart, just before the airport was closed last Monday. Repairs were made to the fuel injection throttle body so it could get back to Lee’s Summit. Other planes coming and going were a Piper Warrior and a Cessna Skyhawk, and a Piper Arrow also visited. Local movements included Jeremie Platt’s Grumman Tiger, Roy Conley’s Grumman Tr2 and a few Cessna 150 training sorties.
In national news, a California county has been slapped down by the FAA for refusing to allow leaded 100-octane fuel to be sold at its two airports. Since 2022, Santa Clara County has required operators to stock only 94-octane unleaded gas or STC’d G100UL unleaded, which some plane owners can’t or won’t use. That violates the grant agreements stipulated when the county took federal trust fund money to maintain its airports, one of which is a ban on exclusivity of services provided.
The Alaska pilot who got stuck in thin ice on a Kenai Peninsula lake last week, leaving him and his two passengers stranded overnight, has been stuck in more ways than just out on a lake. It turns out that he held only a student pilot’s license, so he can’t legally carry anyone with him. Rules don’t count for much in Alaska, where flying is as common a driving a pickup. About all the FAA can do is revoke his student ticket and perhaps levy a fine.
Also last week, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota got upset on Friday when she learned that a Minneapolis-bound airliner departing Washington D.C.’s National airport “narrowly missed” an Air Force T-38 that was passing by on its way to Arlington Cemetery for a fly-over tribute. Actually, while surprising, the system worked as it’s supposed to; airliners are required to carry alerting and resolution gear that warns pilots when a plane gets too close, and that’s why nobody got hurt this time. But, steps will be taken...
And then there was the red-faced (and probably former) United Airlines pilot who made his Shanghai-bound Boeing 787 turn around two hours after departing Los Angeles, because he realized he had forgotten to take his passport with him. Better to face consequences at LAX than in Communist China, he figured, but the passengers had to be inconvenienced, arriving six hours late.
Our weekly challenge from last week wanted to know what airline advertised its low “peanut fares” by passing out free packs of the nuts to its passengers. That would have been Southwest, back in the days before allergy hysteria. For next time, as Butler airport gets a runway lighting upgrade, in what year was the system being replaced installed?
