I don't know how the recycling thing happens where you are, but here 
it works this way.  The common user (muggle me) puts her papers out 
at the curb.  Then, a Big Truck comes down the street and the 
Recycling Guy gets my bag-fulla-paper and tosses it into the bin with 
everyone elses bag-fulla-paper.  I don't think he ever even looks 
in.  I could hide a *body* in there as long as it wasn't dripping.

I guess I don't know how the paper gets processed at the recycling 
plant, but I've always assumed some sort of bigger bin gets filled by 
each truck's bin.  Then it all goes somewhere to get shredded, 
watered down and turned back into paper.

I wonder how long Petunia's been reading the Prophet.  Or if she's 
taken out a subscription now that she knows that Lord Thingy is back 
in town...
