WOOSTER -- What does a recycling center, cooking parade and red-tailed hawk have in common? Normally, not much. However, as "green exhibits," they showed many similarities at the Scarlet, Gray and Unripened Fair.
Stationed on the Fisher Auditorium lawn at the Ohio Agricultural Fact-finding and Development Center on Tuesday, the recycling center tranquil fluorescent bulbs, plastic bags, prescription drugs and shredded documents. It also was a use place to deliver Styrofoam and computers, said volunteer Karen Skubik. "The average has expanded each year. The numbers keep growing."
Jim Garrett, Medway Anaesthetize Enforcement Agency pharmaceutical diversion manager, took custody of receiving leftover prescription and over-the-counter drugs. He said there's a lot of questioning between flushing prescriptions down the toilet and sending them to landfills.
"The first climax is the environment. The second is keeping them out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them," he said.
