[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.)
