Paul Rellinger a.k.a Relly is an award-winning journalist and longtime former newspaper editor still searching for the perfect lead. When he's not putting pen to paper, Paul is on a sincere but woefully futile quest to own every postage stamp ever issued. A rabid reader of history, Paul claims to know who killed JFK but can't say out of fear for the safety of his oh so supportive wife Mary, his three wonderful kids and his three spirited grandchildren. Paul counts among his passions Peterborough's rich live music scene, the Toronto Maple Leafs, slopitch and retrieving golf balls from the woods. You can follow Paul on Twitter at @rellywrites.

Although provincial responsibility for operating the blue box program has changed, how year-round and seasonal residents of Peterborough County sort their recycling remains the same. Put all your rinsed containers in one blue box, put all your paper products and plastic bags in another blue box, and put everything that can't be recycled in the garbage. Properly sorting recyclable materials keeps them out of the landfill and means they can be turned into new products, conserving our natural resources. (Photo: Circular Materials Ontario)
