ANDERSON — Students at the Purdue University College of Technology at Anderson have developed a Web site for the Madison County Recycling Center that allows customers to get all the information they need to use the center’s services.
The Web site, http://www.madisoncountyrecyclingcenter.com, lists the location and hours of the recycling center, the items accepted, costs for recycling items and links to additional recycling tips.
The site is hosted on a server owned by the Anderson/Muncie Boiler Foundation for community engagement projects.
Students of Gary Randolph, an associate professor of computer and information technology at the Purdue location and coordinator of the project, worked on the Web site during the fall 2008 semester. The project was initiated when Randolph was looking for information about recycling electronics at the center and realized the center didn’t have a Web site.
He said that since his students frequently are involved in community-service projects, he thought this would be a good one for them to pursue. The students designed and created the site, which included coding the text and creating the graphics.
Jim Eichhorn, director of the Madison County Recycling Center, said he hopes that having a dedicated Web site will increase traffic to the recycling center.
“Customers in the past have asked if we had a Web site and were disappointed that we didn’t,” he said. “Although customers are always welcome to call me to get information, having a Web site will make it easier for them to get what they are looking for.”
The College of Technology at Anderson is located at the Anderson University Flagship Center, 2705 Enterprise Drive off Interstate 69, Exit 22. It offers bachelor’s degrees in industrial technology and organizational leadership and supervision, associate degrees in computer and information technology and organizational leadership and supervision, and courses in electrical engineering technology.

Study reflects local hospital costs on par
It’s hard to say what’s worse — being hospitalized, or the bill that follows.
But in some places, that bill might be a bigger hit than others: Say, Monterey Park, Calif., for example, where an inpatient being treated for heart failure could expect to pay about twice the average between Madison County’s Community Hospital Anderson and St. Vincent Anderson Regional. -

Yard sale season means big business
Yard sale season is upon us, again.
In Ginnie Clevenger’s Pendleton neighborhood, it’s been a Pendle Hill homeowners’ association tradition since 1977, marked every year with a big banner and balloons tied to mailboxes. Saturday, between 15 and 20 homeowners had signed up to price-sticker their old clothes, video tapes, whats-a-whose-its and thing-a-ma-bobs, and spread them across their front lawns. -
