Recycled, Reduced

If like us, grew up in the late 70’s- 1990s, you were inundated with one new, and seemingly world-saving message. RECYCLE! Don’t just throw things into the landfill; recycle what you use, reduce your use and reuse what you have! Unfortunately, Recycling Centers aren’t just home to hard workers trying to help us make the world better. They are sometimes used to dispose of people. TodayI will be telling the stories of bodies found at Recycling Centers. Some accidental, some, like Stephanie Standen, were purposeful. Listener warning, as this will include the story of Baby Precious. A newborn, disposed of like garbage.
