New phone books are being distributed, so here's a reminder from the city about how to get rid of your old directories.
In a word, recycle. The simplest way is to just put them out in your curbside recycling bin.
Josephine Valencia, the city's waste disposal manager, asks that residents remove any plastic bags, magnets or other attachments before recycling.
Residents can also recycle the directories in the mixed-paper containers at any of these city drop-off centers. All except the last one on the list are open 24 hours:
Festival Shopping Center, 3457 Hillsborough Road
Heritage Square Shopping Center, 401 East Lakewood Avenue
Northgate Mall, 1058 West Club Boulevard
TFC Recycling, 1017 South Hoover Road
Southern Boundaries Park, 3400 Third Fork Road (enter from Archdale Drive)
The Village Shopping Center, 1100 North Miami Boulevard
Waste Disposal & Recycling Center, 2115 East Club Boulevard (* Monday – Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.)

Recycling Volunteers Needed at State Fair
Tue, 09/16/2008 - 09:20 — Kelley (not verified)Hello,
I was looking for an N&O blogger that was interested in the environment and found this post. Would you be willing to put this information on a more recent post?
Thanks, Kelley
The NC Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance is working with the NC Department of Agriculture to coordinate recycling stations for the collection of plastic bottles and aluminum cans throughout the fairgrounds during the 2008 State Fair. We are seeking volunteers to help staff these stations to prevent contamination of the recyclables. The fair will be held in Raleigh off Blue Ridge Road Thursday, October 16, 2008-Sunday, October 26, 2008.
There will be 4 recycling stations throughout the fairgrounds that need 2 volunteers per station per shift. The stations will be located by Dorton Arena, the Midway, the Green NC booth and by the Village of Yesteryear. The shifts will be 3 hours each starting at 10AM and ending at 10PM. Volunteers will NOT need to haul or sort recyclables but will be asked to communicate with the public about sorting their recyclables from regular trash. Volunteers will be given:
1. A worker day pass to get into the fair for free to work their shift,
2. A parking pass (if you sign up to work 2, 3 hour shifts - they do not need to be consecutive shifts) ,
3. Fair t-shirt, and
4. Gloves.
Keep in mind, parking is very limited and using the Park and Ride may still be your best option to get to the fairgrounds. Bus passes may be available.
If you are interested in volunteering, please complete this form (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=XYkyYrhXkJTUE0xJYU_2f7Lg_3d_3d) with the preferred days and times you can work, along with the location you would like to be stationed at. NC DPPEA will contact you closer to the event to confirm your date, time and station.
Junk Mail
Sat, 09/06/2008 - 13:04 — Tim (not verified)I happen to be one of the owners of MyJunkTree and as a new company I search the web to see if we are getting any visibility out there and I post on relevant blogs.
We launched the company because we were tired of all the junk mail we were receiving and we personally did not want to bounce all over the web to contact all the different companies to stop it all. First and foremost we wanted to let people choose what they wanted to let come to their home knowing that some people really do like some of the coupons and catalogs. So our clients choose what they want stopped.
We also had to provide a service that is different than the other services out there, so here is what we offer:
1. We have a database of over 1300 catalogs that you can choose to stop.
2. We have over a 4000 charities/Non-Profits that you can stop solicitations from.
3. Stop the delivery of the national phone directories.
4. Stop the delivery of the weekly coupons.
5. Stop the general credit card offers as well as the ones from your own major bank.
6. Stop the miscellaneous junk mail from the data brokers.
7. You can register on the National Do Not Call Registry from the website.
8. You can order your no strings attached free annual credit report right from the website.
9. We plant trees with every new membership.
And, yes we are a paid service and yes you can do everything that we do for free, if you want to do all the research and spend the time contacting the companies yourself it can easily be done. We have just done all of the legwork for our clients and feel there is value in the service we provide.
