Hi -

I don't know how useful this will be for folks in the DC/College Park/No. 
VA area, but there is a recycling center in Baltimore that will take almost 
any kind of paper.  They will accept glossy paper (magazines, etc.), phone
books, newspaper, office paper, lightweight cardboard (cereal boxes and
the like), but NOT pizza boxes.

The center also takes clear and colored glass, #1 and #2 plastic,
corrugated cardboard, aluminum (cans only), and steel (also cans only, 
I think).

The center is open most of the day on Saturdays.  I'm not sure of exact
hours, but a good guess would be 9 am - 3 pm.

To get there from down south:

  Take 95 north to 695 (Baltimore beltway).

  Take 695 east or north towards Glen Burnie.

  Get off on Hammond's Ferry Road.

  Make a left at the end of the exit ramp.

  The recycling center is behind the Black Label brewery, so make the first
   left after the brewery (almost right away).

  Follow the road until it ends -- over some train tracks and back into
   an area that looks like you are in the wrong place.  Relax, you're
   in the right place.  Follow the signs around to the right.

It takes about 35-45 minutes to get there from the College Park area.  DC
residents add traffic delay factors as appropriate :-).

Happy recycling!
