Introduction
In the 1880’s, the growth of paper products had reached a level that Recycling became a valuable commodity. By the 1950’s, minor recycling of aluminum drink cans began. Around 15 years ago, we received “bins” for paper, limited glass, & cans. Today’s Carts [Garbage & Recycling] started distribution in 2006. Woodland started its Recycling program in 2012.
