The City of Carbondale is rolling out its annual residential spring clean-up starting May first, giving residents a chance to clear out household junk. The program runs each Friday through May 22nd, with pickup scheduled based on regular refuse routes. City officials say items should be placed curbside no earlier than five days before pickup and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day. Crews will handle general household waste, but electronics, hazardous materials, tires, appliances, and construction debris are off limits. Residents who don’t follow placement rules could face city code violations, and officials are reminding people not to block sidewalks or drainage areas during the cleanup period.

Ed launched his radio career in 1975 and has spent more than five decades in the broadcasting industry. During that time, he has served in a wide range of roles including Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in various markets across the country. Beyond on-air and management responsibilities, Ed has also worked extensively on the technical side of broadcasting. His background includes RF engineering and information technology, with particular experience configuring digital automation systems and remote voice-tracking platforms used by stations across the country. Ed was also among a select group of industry professionals invited by Google to its California headquarters following the company’s acquisition of Scott Studios. He was one of just 12 broadcasters nationwide chosen to participate in discussions and provide input during the design and rollout of Google’s digital broadcast automation platform. Although the majority of Ed’s career—spanning roughly four decades—was rooted in music radio, he transitioned into news and information programming in 2012. He says the move into spoken-word broadcasting was a natural evolution after decades of experience in multiple areas of the industry.
