Saving the trees

Woodfin Town Administrator Jason Young reported Tuesday (Oct. 21) at the Woodfin Board of Aldermen meeting that the town's decision to add mixed paper recycling to its services redirected 27,911 pounds of would-be garbage to the landfill for the month of September. To look at it another way, the town saved 237 trees and 3,501 gallons of oil for the month.

The Town of Weaverville voted to add mixed paper recycling to its services at no extra cost to the residents Monday (Oct. 20). Here's hoping that municipality has similar success.
