[RP TownTalk] alternatives to creating more garbage

[Alan Thompson and Sarah Wayland]

[Sarah here, speaking only for myself.]

It's my understanding that the county will not pick up cardboard or  
white paper - only newspaper and glossy (e.g., magazine) paper.  
Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.

The Town collects *all* paper in its truck on Saturdays.

I don't know what the Elementary School collects.

There's also the recycling center on the University of Maryland  
campus that takes glass, metal, and plastic, in addition to paper  
(though I'm not sure what sorts of paper they take. I should look  
into that.)
