Madison County employees, from left, Brandon Banks and Andi Yancey, along with a representative of Republic Services, stand in front of Alton's new downtown recycling drop-off station at 410 Piasa St. behind the former Argosy building and Danny's Lounge. The station formerly was in the Lowe's parking lot on Homer Adams Parkway in Alton, but was absent for months while the county swought a new location.
