is spending time educating the public about plastic recycling restrictions for
#3, #6, and #7. The changes are a
result of China’s “Green Fence” crack-down on contaminated recycling
bales. Be sure to note the lady who ignored direction and

recycled. http://www.oregonlive.com/living/index.ssf/2013/07/plastics_--_sort_of_a_mess.html?utm_source=AOR+Contact+List&utm_campaign=ddab3f84fd-aor_enewsletter_0713&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_519dc0653f-ddab3f84fd-406177799

5. Emergency, Disaster and Demolition
Debris Management Workshops
These workshops take place in North Dakota but may be of

grant from the USDA and are held through August 15th at different
locations in North Dakota. Check
out their brochure for dates and details:
