Good morning, Clermont County. Did you know e-waste makes up a staggering 70% of toxic landfill waste despite being only 2% of landfill volume? Covington's new partnership with BlairTech offers a sustainable solution with year-round electronics recycling, kicking off with a special drop-off event on April 5. The initiative goes beyond just collection—every data-containing device will be securely wiped to federal standards before being refurbished or meticulously recycled.
Literary enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews makes her first tri-state appearance at Campbell County Public Library on April 11. While discussing her latest novel "Summers at the Saint," fans can choose between a casual afternoon "Sneak Peek" or evening presentation. Meanwhile, forward-thinking parents of future kindergarteners should note Milford Schools' enrollment window is now open for the 2025-2026 academic year, with a March 31, 2025 deadline for the placement lottery.

Residents who participate will receive coupons for Tech Castle's renewed computers and accessories.
