First hour: Answering your questions about recycling 

Second hour: An update on vaccine distribution from the Finger Lakes Vaccine Task Force Do you have questions about what can be recycled and what can't? Are you confused by the numbers on the bottom of containers? We've heard from many listeners with questions like these, so we've invited representatives from Monroe County's Environmental Services team to help us understand what we need to know. They answer your questions about recycling and how the process works in Monroe County. Our guests:

  • Mike Garland, director of the Monroe County Department of Environmental Services
  • Tina Stephens, education coordinator for the Monroe County Department of Environmental Services
  • Jeff Meyers, general manager for Cascades Recovery, and chair of the Monroe County Recycling Advisory Committee

Then in our second hour, an update on vaccine distribution in the Rochester/Finger Lakes region. We talk with the co-leaders of the Finger Lakes Vaccine Task Force about vaccine supply and demand in the region, about increasing equity in access, and about the region's pandemic response. Our guests:

  • Nancy Bennett, M.D., co-leader of the Finger Lakes Vaccine Task Force, professor of medicine and public health sciences at the University of Rochester Medical Center, founder and director of the Center for Community Health & Prevention, and co-director of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute
  • Wade Norwood, co-leader of the Finger Lakes Vaccine Task Force, and CEO of Common Ground Health
