Wanted:Thoughts on recycling

How valuable is recycling? Where is all that cardboard, glass, plastic, newspapers, magazines, office packaging going? What can we do to make recycling more common?
Can Pitkin County afford to keep the recycling program going? Is it really that important to recycle? Would business owners and residents miss recycling if it’s cut out of the budget?

Be a part of recycling. Fill out a survey. Surveys to be distributed starting Feb. 4.
