The Kenowa Hills Middle School Washington D.C. Student Trip support group now has a semi trailer located in the parking lot of Sam's Club at 3901 Alpine Ave. N.W. The trailer is located in the southeast corner of the main parking lot, just to the north of the Sam's gas station. Old newspapers, newspaper inserts, corrugated cardboard and phone books can be dropped off there. No magazines or mail please. We hope this new, busy location will receive a lot of paper. We ask that you think of this recycling location when disposing of your old papers. We are truly appreciative of the willingness of Sams' Club, to allow us to locate this paper recycling trailer on their store property.
