When an electric well pump was installed, he went to a pressurized system, but kept the old tank. When the Farmers' Market began asking around if anyone had an old tank, my husband donated it to them. "Doc" would be so pleased that his tank has an attractive new use, and so are we! - LTN Location: Cedar Creek   5/31/2009 Subject: Movies Comment: I'd like to know what movies may be playing, say, next week. - LY Editor's Comment: The schedule available at present is only to Thursday of this week.

I am trying to answer them as soon as I can. If you signed your question with initials MHR, the answer is now posted.   2/11/2008 Subject: Hazardous Waste Day.. Comment: Bastrop needs to have a hazardous waste day. I purchased a house that had approx 100 gallons of paint sitting outside on the ground. I need to dispose of this paint properly. The only way I can get ride of it now is to take it to Austin and pay per gallon. Thanks - CJ Location: Cedar Creek , Tx Editor's Comment: There is not one planned currently. For further information call the Public Works Department at 321-3957.   1/31/2008 Subject: Recycling in Bastrop Comment: I've recently moved from Blanco Co. to Bastrop Co. I was surprised to learn there was no recycling center in Bastrop that will take glass or tin much less styrofoam,appliances, mattresses,hazardous waste, etc. I spoke with the County Commissioner in Blanco, who said that they have piece mealed their recycling facilities(which takes all of the aforementioned) together over the last ten years through solid waste grants. With very little cost to the tax-payer. My understanding is that Bastrop has applied for a one day hazardous waste grant. One day? There was an article in the local paper not long ago concerning the problem with illegal dumping in Bastrop. According to the county commissioner in Blanco they illegal dumping is almost nil. They have one enforcement officer, we have three. Maybe if people had a convenient place too take their recyclables we wouldn't have a dumping problem. If anyone feels the same or has any ideas about changing attitudes from enforcement to prevention or who I might contact, please email me at jareejaree@msn.com - JV Location: Bastrop   1/21/2008 Subject: Texas Saddlery, A Texas Corporation, Bastrop Texas Comment: Regarding a post of 3/23/2007 regarding Texas Saddlery.
