sented a study he made of re
cycling as a method of solid
waste disposal. He had investi
gated the recycling methods
now underway in nearby areas
suqh as Sylva and Henderson
ville. A spirited discussion of
the advantages of recycling fol
lowed.
The consensus of the Asso
ciation members present appear
ed to be that this method is
the most advantageous from
all points of view and will most
certainly be the method of the
future. Recycling solid waste
reduces the area needed for
sanitary landfill and, more im
portantly, returns an economic
benefit to the towns and coun
ties using such methods. For
example, Kraft cardboard is in
short supply and brings $50.00
a ton if collected and sold. The
town of Sylva has been collect
ing and selling waste paper to
the Mead Paper Corporation for
re-use and bringing the town a
tidy profit.

A discussion took place on
how to educate home owners to
