Where Can I (Wednesday)… Recycle Paper Towel & Toilet Tubes?

When I stop home at my parents house, I try to give them some hints of what they’re not recycling (and should) as the self-appointed ‘recycle police’.  But then I see it… No paper, but a lonely tube, surrounded by tissues.

Good news: Paper tubes from paper towels, TP, tape, etc., can go into your Single Stream Recycling! No extra effort.

Recycle on!  (And try to use dishtowels instead of paper…) 😉
