The monthly newspaper recycling drive sponsored by Women for City Living will be held on February 24 and 25 at the rear parking lot of the Kroger Store on Lindell at Sarah street. Between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. members of Women for City Living will be at the collection trailer to load the papers. Bundles should be tied or bagged.
Since the recycling project began in August, 1972, more than 50,000 pounds of newspapers have been collected. Not only has the recycling saved over 425 trees from the axe (17 trees per ton), but proceeds from the sale of the papers are being used for new trees. The Forestry Department has been planting trees along the streets of the West End since October.
