  A Sorted Affair

VALCORE Recycling's bi-weekly recycling and environmental column has been published in the Vallejo Times-Herald since 1992. It is published every other Sunday in the Community Outlook Section.

Topics range from traditional recycling to avoiding waste, cleaning green, alternatives to hazardous waste and composting.
