EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, Fla. — Recycling has come to the Everglades.
Under a program begun Tuesday, this became the sixth national park to promote recycling by collecting plastic, glass and aluminum containers from park visitors. Last year, Everglades National Park sent 5,000 tons of tourist trash to a Miami-area landfill.
Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Great Smoky Mountains, Acadia and Mt. Rainier national parks also promote recycling.
