[P2assist] Trash can recycling

[Tom Rhodes]

Thanks Rhonda, Excellent idea. My experience has been that these sheltered
workshops and Adult Day Activity Programs have provided very good, reliable
services for the recycling industry. I recommend them highly.

How about asking a sheltered workshop to remove the metal pieces? You could
try
the Durham branch of ARC (Association for Retarded Citizens).
