A new sculpture and fountain celebrating the city's "progressive recycling efforts," was unveiled yesterday in Naperville. According to the Daily Herald, the 11-foot, $120,000 sculpture "honors the work of former Naperville resident Barbara Sielaff, who helped launch the city's recycling program about 30 years ago."
