Paper Items

Office papers, school papers, and unsolicited mail (junk mail) can now go in Recycling Bins at area grocery stores in the bins along with Magazines and Catalogs.

Richard reads the paper every day. He catches up on the Royals, the weather forecast, and the latest goings on in Washington. What Richard doesn't realize is the amount of trash he creates everyday. Paper accounts for over 30% of the trash generated in Sedgwick County. When you consider that a big part of the nearly half million people in Sedgwick County could very well have the same morning routine, that¹s a lot of paper. So, do the math, and please recycle.
