WAVERLY, Iowa --- Recycling is second nature to Joanna Ewest, who remembers newspaper drives as a school girl growing up in the Pacific Northwest. Hanging on to more obscure trash --- like empty cheese packages, cereal bags and pretzel containers --- is a relatively new habit, one she hopes fellow Waverly residents embrace. "My motive is we should take care of what we are given," Ewest said. "We've been given this wonderful earth and should be taking care of it."
