As a nation, are we truly reducing the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) that ends up in landfills? Are we recycling more? How do recycling rates compare across the different regions of our country? Does the future for recycling look positive? (more…)

Do you know the recycling rate of your own community? Phone your municipality to find out. See how your community’s rate stacks up against the rest of the state. Use this information to benchmark your own efforts. Let your neighbors know there is more we can all do to increase the recycling rate. Knowledge is power. -R.G.
