Did you know that, at least in Austin, Texas, there are paper recycling bins/dumpsters in the parking lots of the primary public schools? I didn't until a friend told me, and sure enough he was right. I have yet to investigate to see if they are in ALL school parking lots, but I'm certainly looking to find out ifyou happen to know.
So if you're doing your early spring cleaning in the garage and wanting to get rid of all those old newspapers or product packaging you've broken down, the answer to your woes may be as close as your neighborhood school.
The receptacles in Austin (Williamson County) are green and yellow, and they don't appear to accept cardboard or phone books. :-( If you've got any information to add to this (like the color in your neighborhood), please feel free to leave a comment.
I thought this was worthwhile stuff to share because recycling...well, it's just smart. Maybe that's why they put receptacles at school? :-)
Please Help Keep America (and the world) Beautiful!
