Miss /lorida Zeen Aimerica Scholarship Pageant now acccptin applications 3.] Jennifer Fernandez, Miss Florida Teen America 2006 Dollar stretcher tip Recycle savings Now that recycling is being made easier for households, I am more apt to recycle if at all possible. Doing so has de- creased the amount of trash 1 put out each week. I wasn't completely filling my trash bin. I made one phone call to my trash hauling company and found out a smaller bin was available. They don't normally offer it automatically, only if you call and specifically re- quest a smaller bin. This saves me $8 per month. It doesn't seem like much, but over the course of a year, it amounts to $96. I am a firm believer that every "little bit" counts! Paula C.
