THE SKINNY ON PHOTOS

We all have them, right? Boxes and boxes of old photos that were either not good enough or too plentiful to fill albums.

This announcement comes from the Darien Recycling Center pages on Facebook. Like that page on Facebook and you can get your tips directly, as soon as they come out, and keep informed on other recycling information.

EDITOR’S NOTE: We noticed that Darien resident Seana Turner, who has a business helping people to organize themselves, has a blog post on organizing and getting rid of photos.
