It’s time to put on your favorite boots, practice your loudest “yips” and “yeehaws,” and learn some line dances! We will learn basic moves and terminology in country (and pop!) dancing and then put them to work in choreography. You don’t need any experience to join these classes! All ages, genders, and abilities are welcome – after all, dancing is for everyone. All you need to bring is your willingness to learn, a big smile, and your shining presence!

Class is from 5:30pm-6:30pm and $10/person. Any questions or wish to get on the email list: rfvlinedance@gmail.com

When recycling plastic in Carbondale, stick to bottles, tubs, jars, and jugs. No clamshells, plastic bags, coffee cups, or takeout containers. If it's not a bottle, tub, jar, or jug, toss it in the trash. These items can't be sorted and there is no end-user market for them.

Recyclables in Carbondale shouldn't be bagged. Just place them loose in a bin. If your recyclables are in grocery or garbage bags, they're likely being thrown in the landfill instead. Bagging your recyclables may even cause entire loads to be rejected. This is because bags cause jams in the sorting machines which can slow down lines and cause costly damage. Other items that aren't recyclable are bubble wrap, food wraps, and garden hoses.
