LABOR DAY – September 7, 2026
Labor Day is a federal holiday on the first Monday of September every year. It has its roots in the American labor movement.
The Controversy Over Who Founded Labor Day
Americans have been celebrating workers since the late 19th century, but exactly who is responsible for the holiday is debated. On the first Monday in September, many Americans celebrate Labor Day with parties or barbecues. Others mark Labor Day weekend, often considered the last weekend of summer, with a vacation or a trip to the beach. These modern-day activities echo the revelry at the first observance of Labor Day nearly 150 years ago.
The earliest documented Labor Day parade was held in New York City in 1882. Two years later, the largest workers’ association in the United States, Knights of Labor, adopted a resolution for the holiday to occur on the first Monday in September. By 1894, Congress and President Grover Cleveland had made Labor Day into a federal holiday paying tribute to American workers.
The idea for the holiday came from an East Coast laborer, but two men—Peter McGuire and Matthew Maguire—can be credited for suggesting the holiday. Exactly who founded Labor Day remains contested. Learn more…. Go to – Labor Day

Recycling Makes Cents!
Recycling rules change regularly but not by whim. New equipment, smarter processing, and better understanding of the market potential contribute to more effective recycling.
Bottle Bill would encourage recycling habits
State lawmakers are looking to put Mr. Trash Wheel on a diet by considering a bill that would add bottle deposits to single-serve containers. Consumers who return the bottles would get that money back. Supporters hope the bill will serve as an incentive to recycle so that fewer bottles end up in our waterways. Bottle Bill Info
