Mary Dru Bowman 10/11/2018 6:34 AMMy focus these days seems to be about Wish Cycling. I have found that many enviromentally conscious friends, family and co-workers have the idea that it is harmless to put items that "should" be recyclable in with the items that actually are recyclable. They are completely unaware of the negative consequences. I have been using the chart from the Recycle Brevard website to help educate them as well as helping them with info on where to take the items that do not belong in the household Recycle Bin.-
