improve his environment.
We will be collecting paper—

and other miscellaneous paper.
The newspaper should be bound
separately. We will also be col
lecting clear and green glass.
All glass containers should be
rinsed.
Volunteer workers will be
present to assist with unloading
your paper and glass. You will
not have to leave your car at
the delivery station.
Do something now to he 1 p
your environment and help us to
make Newberry County’s Re
