Hello All! The Holidays are past us now and I hope that everyone had a blessed Christmas and New Years. Remember to recycle all of your boxes and wrapping paper! You may be able to recycle some of your Christmas plastics too, if they have a #1 or #2 on them! Remember that reuse is (to Me anyway) the ultimate way to recycle, so, if you have usable stuff that you no longer want or need, pass it on to somebody else!
