Revised 4/28: County Recycling Program Attacks Churches, Schools and Scouts

More churchs say they will be hit by County's recycling program. St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in Oakville published a request in a recent Sunday church bulletin with a headline, "We Need Your Recycling." They said their school receives between $5,000 to $6,000 per year from the paper recycling while the scouting program receives profits from aluminum can recycling.

Two other South County churchs provide recycling programs that will also be impacted. They are Queen of All Saints in Oakville and St. Simon in Green Park. One resident said, "The handwriting is on the wall. These program will suffer in the long haul and the county could care less."
