	Wash. Post stated in article 2 weeks ago ..."Starting Saturday,
	the city's [DC] 12 recycling centers will begin accepting magazines
	and heavyweight cardboard dropped off by residents.  The recycling
	centers are the only sites that will accept the new material. [They]
	will not be accepted as part of the curbside pickup services 
	available in Wards 7 & 8, and Ward 6 east of Anacostia River....
	Magazines must be wrapped in bundles no more than a foot high, 
	and cardboard should be broken down flat....Hours are 8 am to noon..."

	If DC resident, call Dept of Environmental Svcs. for locations.

	Regards,
