1. Struggling to figure out what needs to be recycled? The City of Grand Rapids is rolling out a new campaign to help residents recycle more efficiently.
"Feet On The Street" is a first-of-its-kind cart-tagging recycling campaign, which the city says will help improve the quality of recyclable materials in residents' curbside carts.
Feet On The Street representatives will visit neighborhoods over the next three months. During that time, representatives will go through and review recycling.
More information about the city's campaign can be found on their website.

3. Listen up iced coffee fans because Mr. Coffee has come out with a brand new ice coffee maker to enjoy the chilled beverage at home any time.

4. Mother nature is doing some decorating of her own for Halloween, adding the perfect spooky touch.
The sky will be lit by a blue moon, the second full moon in that month. This will also be the first blue moon in the U.S. since March 2018.
Despite its name, a blue moon is not necessarily blue. The phrase "once in a blue moon" usually means a rare occurrence that can either be lucky or unlucky.
So if you experience something weird this Halloween, you can chalk it up to the blue moon.
