A Scott County company wants to decrease garbage in the Central Kentucky Landfill in Georgetown by sifting through household trash for recyclable materials.J. Bishop Enterprises in Georgetown has applied to the state Division of Waste Management for a transfer station, recycling center and a convenience center facility. The business will receive solid waste and recycling material, according to the public hearing notice for the facility. After the material is sorted, non-recyclable materials will be taken to a permitted disposal facility and recyclable material will be taken to a recycling center.The facility, which has yet to be built, will be located at 245 West Yusen Way, north of Georgetown.John Bishop, president J.

At Gallery4Culture in April, as part of the collaborative group Caché (with artists Jackson Baker Ryan and Alex Boeschenstein), Cleary used familiar building materials and video projections to conjure up the troubling essence of new yet empty residential dwellings and offered an intriguing narrative of Seattle’s proliferating urban space. The Recology CleanScapes facility should offer tremendous inspiration to both of these artists, and their work may inspire Seattleites to think about refuse in a new way. ... (Seattlemag)
