Subject: Chip Mill Denied
CHIP MILL DENIED: A 2/12 Arkansas Public Policy Panel alert reported
the Russellville City Council voted 5-3 to deny Weyerhaeuser a business
license for a chip mill proposed for the Arkansas River. The council's
decision was influenced by citizen concerns regarding traffic, noise
and impacts to tourism in the region. Weyerhaeuser had already
received a permit for an export facility from the US Army Corps of
Engineers. Despite the Council meeting being "stacked with timber
industry employees" and a "polished presentation" from Weyerhaeuser,
the "vote had already been decided thanks to an educated and empowered
public speaking their minds." The APPP works with a coalition of 58
citizen groups, including the Arkansas Watershed Alliance and the
Dogwood Alliance.

Dear Jesse:
In response to your Feb. 10, 1998 e-mail request on CD-ROM recycling I am
forwarding a copy of an earlier message I sent to Tara Pike when she made a
similar information request to the GreenYes list. You may also wish to
contact Tara regarding her current progress on this issue.

>>Dear Tara:
>>
>>If I'm not mistaken, compact disks are made with a polycarbonate(PC) resin
with one metalicized surface for the digital coding that is read by the
laser. I believe its this metalic coating that makes CD's hard to recycle.
My suggestions are as follows:
>>
>>1. Try consulting a copy of Resource Recycling's Directory of North
American Scrap Plastics Processors and Buyers. This directory lists
companies by resin handled, geographic location and company name. I would
call all companies that are listed as handling PC that are located in the
Western U.S. (there are no listings for Nevada). Call Resource Recycling at
503-227-1319 for information on this Directory.
>>
>>2. I would also call GreenDisk. Their tel.# is 206-222-7734. They
manufacture recycled computer disks but they also provide software media
recycling services. These services are primarily oriented to software
manufacturers but according to Greendisk they are available (at a cost) to
other organizations that generate waste data media. Perhaps as a way to
improve the economics, you may want to find out if there are other
organizations in your region that also dispose large numbers of CD's For
example, university libraries may be a prime candidate since many now
maintain searchable CD based databases that are periodically updated.
Federal and state agencies may be another possible source. GreenDisk's web
site is www.greendisk.com
>>
>>Hope this helps. Let the list know how you resolved (or did not resolve)
this situation.

Subject: Weight of grass clippings
I am trying to get an estimage for the weight (in pounds) of a cubic
yard of grass clippings. I realize that the weight is very dependent on
moisture content and the weight of fresh clippings will be much greater
than clippings that have had a day or two to dry out. Be that as it
may, does anyone have a poundage estimate?
Thanks for your help,
