A recent survey is going around electronically on how well libraries
do and do not recycle office materials. One point coming from the survey
shows that there are a number of libraries which would like to recycle
computer diskettes, CD-ROMs and microfiche/microfilm products. I know I
would prefer to recycle them rather than throw them all away.
     However, I don't know the names and addresses of any companies that
recycle any of these products- only paper, cardboard and toner cartridges.
If you know of any film or plastic recycling companies that will accept
CD-ROMs, diskettes or microfiche from libraries, please post their names
and addresses to me and I'll summarize for the lists.
     "Live green or die." (The motto of the Green Mountain Boys, before it
was recycled on to car license plates)  8-)
