Rappahannock County Park. Last Saturday, 68 households contributed recyclable materials.
In September, 500 pounds of newspaper was collected, this month the total was four times that: a full ton of newsprint to be recycled. The amount of aluminum doubled, from 20 to 40 pounds. More than three times as much glass was collected, 1,000 pounds on Saturday compared with 300 pounds in September.
Mrs. Stamer said that figures for the amount of magazines, tin cans and plastics collected Saturday were not available from the collection company, Piedmont Recycling.
“It was real good,” she said. “We had a much greater response.” Although the event was planned from 9-11 a.m., at closing time cars and trucks were still arriving to contribute their goods to the growing piles.
It was going on noon when the packed truck finally headed off down Route 211 to Fredericksburg. “It was really jam-packed,” Mrs. Stamer said.
Next month, the community is again encouraged to participate in Recycling Day. The date will be Nov. 19, the place will again be the Rappahannock County Park, and the time remains the same: 9-11 a.m. Again, Mrs. Stamer asks that no materials be deposited at the park either before or after the designated times.
