Tryon Town Manager Barry G.
Richards asked that we remind
readers that curbside recycling
begins in Tryon July 4. And after
tomorrow, there will be no more
Saturday trash pick-ups for
business.
In honor of the advent of
recycling in Polk County
generally this spring, each
Friday’s Curb Reporter will
contain another idea for
conserving, recycling,
preserving, and living in
harmony with nature.
We have plenty of ideas and
resources for thousands more,
but what we’d like best is for you
to share your ideas.. Little
tidbits, ideas, handy ways you’ve
found to make the most of what
we have, to end wastefulness.
Let’s face it, we are all going to
have a lot of habits to change in
the 1990s and we might as well
enjoy the process.
To start out today, the first
idea:
* Use the back of junk mail for
note or scratch paper rather than
filling up the trash can with it
and using new paper for scratch.
