Charlie Wetherington couldn’t readily explain why he throws away his aluminum cans, newspapers and plastic bottles instead of recycling them. “I guess I’m just lazy,” the South Nashville resident finally said, admitting his green recycling cart has sat in his driveway for months because remodelers put debris in it. “I’m all for recycling. I did it (through a mandatory curbside recycling program) when I was in Florida, but I guess I got out of the habit here. I’d get back into it if I knew how.”  

This month we will be looking at Cardboard. We will look at many different things from how it is recycled, to interesting facts, to how you can help keep all of this out of the landfill. I will be posting at least one article each week, but hope to publish even more as they become available.
