January's recycling day saw a record breaking 20 ton of bundled newspapers, magazines and cardboard brought to the McHenry Market Place. Over 3 ton of glass and cans were brought in. The McHenry County Defenders would like to make those new to recycling aware of the following guidelines: Twice Told Tales FORTYYEARSAGO (Taken from the files of Feb. 22, 1934) The city hall, the meeting place of the official heads of McHenry and the sleeping place of the hoboes in the vicinity was quarantined over the weekend with a blaring sign of "Smallpox" upon the door.
