recycle plastic grocery bags - coming our way

Scheduled to begin Sept. 1st, the program will require City of Madison residents to recycle those plastic bags by dropping them off at approved sites. See article for more detail.

Tomorrow is a FREE electroincs drop off day

Dane County is having an electronics drop off at the Alliant Energy Center, and is accepting many electronics for free. See details HERE

introducing: SHARE box

I’d like to try a new recycling – sharing project, here at the Derr Apartments.

I put a container down in the laundry room, and labeled it “SHARE”
If you have a magazine, book, map, catalog, etc., that you are no longer using and you think another resident in the building might like to read it: remove mailing labels and place the material in the SHARE box.
Feel free to browse the SHARE box for items other residents have passed along. I will try to monitor the materials and keep them fresh and current.
This is NOT a disposal box. Please no newspapers, junk mail, etc. Mail order catalogs are fine, but let’s not fill this container with Chinese food menus, Isthmus Newspapers, etc.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
