The program, which has saved 85,000 gees in its ten-year existence, recy- cles newspapers, which are collected from residences every two weeks. The film ex- plained that the program began with single-family homes, and has now been expanded to include multi-family buildings. It noted the program was voluntary, but had a high level of interest and participation by University City residents, partly be- cause it is so easy to use the service.
