It’s nice that southern Mainers are getting into the spirit of recycling.
But you knew someone had gone too far when ecomaine, the Portland-based waste agency, issued these new recycling guidelines this week:
- Newspapers – yes.
- Glass bottles – yes.
- Milk jugs – yes.
- Snakes – no.
Someone, it seems, decided to recycle a 7-foot-long python. The snake, already dead, arrived at ecomaine’s giant recycling center in Portland a couple of weeks ago, mixed in with tons of paper, glass and plastic. A couple of workers saw it on a conveyer belt just before the snake got fed into the giant sorting machine.
