Recycling Programs Help Residents Do More
From Times Wire Reports
Residents are recycling at higher rates thanks to programs that accept everything from pizza boxes to demolition debris. Officials said Tuesday that 46% of the city’s trash was recycled last year, up from 42% in 1999.
Officials attribute the jump to programs for homes and businesses that turn food waste into compost and find new uses for construction debris.
