CITY FLAG SHIRTS AVAILABLE Shirts with the new city flag design are available to order at:  https://wearatomic.com/product/north-newton/ Blayne Stump's winning design of a stylized sunflower took the prize of $500 in 2024. Blayne is a 2020 graduate of Bethel College and a resident of North Newton. He works at Legacy Bank in Wichita. PLASTIC BAG/FILM RECYCLE PROGRAM Since our trash and recycling contractor, Nisly Brothers, does not collect plastic bags and plastic film you have this option for recycling those types of plastics. Volunteers from Mennonite Central Committee help sort and bundle plastics for recycling. A collection receptacle is located in the City Hall lobby for plastic bags, wraps and film. These must be clean and dry with all paper labels removed. See the graphic below for the types of plastics that are acceptable. Do not include the following: frozen food bags, candy bar wrappers, chip bags, net or mesh produce bags, pet food bags, compostable bags, pre-washed salad bags, meat or hot dog packaging, six-pack rings, plastic gloves, lamination film, vinyl curtains or tablecovers, bedding packaging, shiny/crinkly floral wrap. As a general rule: if the plastic stretches it can be included; if it's shiny or crinkly/crunchy sounding do not include it. North Newton Water Tower-Constructed 2015
