Earth Day may have been celebrated last month, but offi-
cials and employees in the City of Romulus have found ways
to continue to apply “green” concepts.
Romulus demonstrated support for environmental protec-
tion on April 22, the actual date of Earth Day with the plant-
ing of trees outside the Department of Public Services build-
ing at 12600 Wayne Road. The trees were provided by WH
CanonCo. and planted by employees from theRomulus land-
scaping business at no cost to the city. Economic
Development Director Timothy Keyes said the trees were
part of a landscaping requirement of Verizon and Sprint
related to cell towers in the city. The companies hired WH
Canon to do thework, which coincidedwithEarthDay.
Community Outreach Director Jazmine Danci led story
time presentations about recycling at the Romulus Public
Library. She read The Earth Book by Todd Parr and The
Three R's by Nuria Roca. The group sang two songs about
recycling, did an “Earth Day craft” using coffee filters and
markers and got creative on someEarthDay coloring pages.
The monthly “Spotlight on Romulus” show on the city
cable TV channel on Comcast focused on Earth Day. In addi-
tion, the theme of this month's display case at city hall fea-
tured environmental tips and other earth-friendly informa-
tion.
Employees at city offices expanded the amount of recy-
cled materials from paper and cardboard to everything that
is collected in the curbside recycling program. The items
now include glass, plastic containers, cans, newspapers and
more. Waste Management picks up items from city offices
once a week instead of once a month, which is the former
schedule.
City employees have implemented State of Michigan-
approved standards for cleaning products. Danci said
employees will use concentrated cleaning products and will
reuse the bottle containers. They also encourage residents
andbusiness people in the city to followsuit.
The “green” efforts continue to expand. In recent days, the
Romulus Fire Department, under the leadership of Deputy
Chief Kevin Krause and with assistance from Lt. Michael
Wojtylko Jr., Lt. Doug Rowe and Firefighters Jason Pittman,
Aaron Ladach and Gerald McDiarmid, began gardening at
Fire Station 4. Krause said the firefighters were provided
materials to create boxed gardens and seeds to grow the veg-
etables and herbs that were donated by Block's Stand and
Greenhouse. Firefighters can use the fresh vegetables to
cook dailymeals at the station.
Changes are coming to the Romulus
FarmersMarket.
The destination for local growers to sell to
local people has moved to 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Wednesdays, in the parking lot of Romulus
CityHall, 11111WayneRoad.
The new location is expected to be more
visible to farmers and vendors, who favored
the move, according to Market Manager
Merrie Druyor of the sponsoring Romulus
DowntownDevelopment Authority.
The FarmersMarket is scheduled to open
Wednesdays through Sept. 24. Parking is
free.
Prospective Farmers Farmers vendors
interested in selling locally-grown and -made
items can contact Druyor at (734) 955-4531 or
mdruyor@ci.romulus.mi.us.
