Recycled newspapers to be
used at Composite Products
I Zv
Newspapers are of little use to us
after they are a couple days old be
cause what they say isn't news any
more. Unless we think of something
useful to do with old newspapers,
they are trash to us and have to go to
the landfill. The more things that go
to the landfill the bigger it has to be
and the more land it takes up. This
means less land of every other use.
Newspaper recycling at Warm
Springs officially begins during
April, which is Environmental
Awareness Month.
Through the efforts of the tribal
Utilities Department, we will now
have a way to recycle newspapers
here in Warm Springs. There will be
five different sites where old news
papers can be dropped off in
dumpsters: Between the Early
Childhood Education Center and the

Department building on Hollywood

The dumpsters will be painted
light green and have "Newspapers
Only" written on them, in addition to
the triangular recycling logo. At this
time we only have the ability to re
cycle newspaper, so nothing else
should be put in these specially
marked bins.
Newspapers collected through the
Warm Springs recycling program will
be sent to Warm Springs Composite
Products. The newspapers will be
used as a raw material in the produc
tion of fireproof building materials
helping make new products from old.
It would be ideal if the various
departments on the reservation took
the initiative on gctung newspaper
recycling started and set an example
for the community. Newspapers
could be collected at a specific loca
tion in each office and periodically
transported to one of the collection
sites. If you need containers for col
lecting newspapers in your office,
call the tribal Sanitarian Nancy
Collins at 553-4943 or leave a mes
sage at 553-11.
