Recyclables only; no trash allowed

    COUNTY -- The recycling bin in the Shopko/HyVee parking lot was clean and tidy on this day, but it hasn’t been the norm lately.  County officials said people have been dropping off trash more frequently that has to be hauled away.  On one day, there were nearly a dozen bags of trash and even a television left at this recycling site.
    Officials are reminding Shelby County residents that this bin is for recyclables only, and for rural residents only.  In-town Harlan residents have their yellow bins to put out on trash day with their recyclables inside.  If people continue to dump trash at this site, the recycling bin may have to go away, officials said.
