Trash & Such - Guide to Recycling
There we were at the end of our June Conservation meeting and we started talking trash. That is, various members mentioned places to take trash for recycling. The more we talked the more we realized how many local places there were for us to dump almost anything to be recycled so it wouldn’t end up in a landfill (or just fill up our rooms, garages, closets, drawers, cupboards, shelves and basements). But, the problem was, when we needed those places, how could we remember where they were?
