"Now we are expanding into beverage cans," says Humphris. "We got into it voluntarily because there are about 500 cans of beverages sold here a week. We have two drums. Wben they get full we voluntarily drop the cans off at Durham Recycling. "Humpbris says, the co-ope- ration among the estimated 300 employees bas been great. "The people on site bave. been very co-operative. We bave set up committees of about eigbt fo ten people. They bave been very successful. People have respon- ded to our requests to save the cans and put themn in the proper containers. "The next tbing Dupont is con- sidering in their recycling efforts is newspapers. "We accumulate about 50 papers bere a day.. Humphris sees recycling as a sign of the times and sees tbis as just tbe beginning. 'mn almost sure tbat one of tbese aays there wiIl be a space for everytbing -- even in homes. Industry sbould set the pace for everyone. I think we're heading in the rigbt direction.
