I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has set up community recycling programs as to how difficult it was, were they able to get coporate sponsorship, and any advice they might have. My only contribution to this newsgroup so far follows: Steel Can Recycling Institute - 1-800-876-7274 National Polystyrene Recycling Company 1-800-242-7434 or write: Recycling, 1025 Connecticut Ave, Suite 508 Washington, DC 20036 Environmental Defense Fund 1616 P Street Washington, DC 20036 The SCRI was able to give me the address of a center near me that recycles steel cans. I got their number from Pepsi. The NPRC had a full page ad in the Washington Post recently. I wrote to them, and have not yet recieved a reply. My big problem lately has been phone books, being that the population where I live is probably around 1.2 million, I know else in the county to recycle phone books. I plan to call them and ask where they're taking them, and hopefully next distribution we can work out more drop-off points and take a larger volume. But that's been my pet project. thanks-shaula
