Editor's Note:  Since January 2005, Recycling Lines has sought to introduce Recycling Program Managers and other interested parties throughout the Commonwealth to information from across the country that may not be readily accessable to their programs, and also to serve as a forum for them to share what is going on in their communities. Earlier issues are available from our files.  Please contact Steve Coe at 804-698-4029 if you have questions.

We encourage Recycling Program Managers and other interested parties to share their comments, ideas, programs and stories by submitting copy to us for inclusion in the newsletter.
