Clean waste paper is a valuable salvage item. Recently, we have been guilty of contaminating
our waste paper, by tossing floor sweepings and sundry trash items into paper containers.
Contaminated paper has no value and is therefore burned in the incinerator.
Let's whip this problem quickly. Make sure your employees are aware of the facts1 and en-
list their aid in keeping other items out of our waste paper.
