This year enjoy the frenzy while reducing your holiday waste or eliminating it all together. </P> <UL> <LI>Start by taking your own shopping bag with you to stores or consolidate your purchases into one bag rather than getting a new bag at each store. <LI>When decorating your home opt for a tree that can be planted or mulched afterward, or buy an artificial one. Then decorate your tree with custom-made ornaments made from items around the house, or from materials you might find in the backyard: twigs, bark, flowers and herbs, pine cones, etc. <LI>Avoid the paper and stamps and wish family, friends and business associates a Happy Holidays through e-cards. <LI>When you are “wrapping up” for the holidays create a new twist with old maps, brown paper bags, magazines, newspapers, Sunday comics, or kids’ art work to wrap up that special gift. If you decide to go with traditional wrapping paper look for recycled content gift wrap. <LI>Clean up for the holidays is made easy and keeps on recycling with the <A href="http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/sws/xmastree.htm"><STRONG><FONT color=#0033ff>City of Austin Solid Waste Services</FONT></STRONG></A> curbside tree pick up. Be sure and cut your tree in half if it is taller than six feet. <LI>Be prepared for next year by saving this years’ packing material, wrapping paper, and tissue paper to reuse for next year. <LI>If after the holidays you find yourself with an assortment of unwanted gifts consider donating them to <STRONG>Keep Austin Beautiful's silent auction</STRONG> by calling <STRONG>512-391-0622</STRONG>! </LI></UL> <P>Keep Austin Beautiful wishes you an Eco Wise Holiday and thanks you for keeping Austin beautiful. <BR> ************************************************************************</P></TD> <TR></TR></TBODY></TABLE><!-- end: news --><!-- page_foot() --><BR></P> <P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px"><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>2004 Great Paper Chase Winners </STRONG></FONT></P> <P> <TABLE width=688 border=1> <TBODY> <TR vAlign=top> <TD width=117>1st Place</TD> <TD width=348>Laurel Mountain Elementary</TD> <TD width=201>Austin, TX</TD></TR> <TR vAlign=top> <TD>2nd Place</TD> <TD>Holy Cross Lutheran Church</TD> <TD>Austin, TX</TD></TR> <TR vAlign=top> <TD>3rd Place</TD> <TD>Spicewood Elementary</TD> <TD>Austin, TX</TD></TR> <TR vAlign=top> <TD>4th Place</TD> <TD>Wimberly High School</TD> <TD>Wimberly, TX</TD></TR> <TR vAlign=top> <TD>5th Place</TD> <TD>Leander Middle School</TD> <TD>Leander, TX</TD></TR> <TR vAlign=top> <TD>6th Place</TD> <TD>Cypress Elementary</TD> <TD>Cedar Park, TX</TD></TR> <TR vAlign=top> <TD>7th Place</TD> <TD>Cedar Valley Middle School</TD> <TD>Austin, TX</TD></TR> <TR vAlign=top> <TD>8th Place</TD> <TD>Mina Elementary</TD> <TD>Bastrop, TX</TD></TR> <TR vAlign=top> <TD>9th Place</TD> <TD>Cedar Park High School</TD> <TD>Cedar Park, TX</TD></TR> <TR vAlign=top> <TD>10th Place</TD> <TD>St. Martin's Lutheran School</TD> <TD>Austin, TX</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></P> <P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><FONT face=Arial><STRONG> </STRONG></FONT></P> <P>Laurel Mountain Elementary has three paper recycling bins located by the music and TAG portables.</P> <P>These bins are emptied on a regular, but not specific, dates.
