County recycling program starts Oct. 31
Idaho County Recycling Task Force is starting their recycling program on Saturday October 31st at the grain elevator in Fenn. This site was chosen to best serve the Camas Prairie, Cottonwood, and Grangeville.
On Sunday the 1st the recycling will be set up to serve the Clearwater Valley at a site to be announced.  We will be recycling from 8:00 A. M. until 5:00 P.M. at each cite.
Plans are to begin by recycling once a month on the last weekend of the month and expand as the program grows. We are beginning small and will build the program as it grows.
