A
When

think
of
Arlington,
you
probably
don't
think
of
rodeos,
but
there
was
a
rodeo
here
and
instead
of
horses,
it
featured
bobcats
and
snowplows
and
backhoes
will
tell
you
more
about
that
later
in
the
program,
but
first
no
more
plastic
bags
in
your
recycling
bin.
It's
been
discovered
that
the
bags
are
damaging
the
equipment
at
the
recycling
facilities
so
going
forward.
Please
return
plastic
bags
to
the
grocery
store.
A
