“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Waste Management Recycle Tampa’s recycling educator Melissa Baldwin says, “When in doubt throw it out.”She also says you should look closely at what items are made of, because some items should not be recycled.“Some packaging is co-mingling that means it has paper and plastic combined.

"That's what happened all over Houston."Dan Gannon, who is coordinating volunteers for the Church of St. John the Divine, said it has become common for him to send helpers to clear out a house, only to have other volunteers already there. When he sent lunch to a team of volunteers, another group had already brought food.Some out-of-towners have driven to Houston to help family or friends, only to find that strangers beat them to it.
