Remember that I'm in California and we're ahead of the curve! ;)California has a requirement that all cities recycle a certain percentage of their trash. I can't remember the number but it's like 50-60%. What many cities do is that they take 50-60% (or whatever the number is) of their total trash to large recycling centers where all of the recyclable materials are separated from the trash before heading to the landfill. Often these centers are at the landfill. In that case you just throw all of your trash in one bin like the old days. Some cities still do the thing where they give you separate containers for different recyclables. Some do both the mass separation and the individual recycling (likely why SF is so high). It's been this way out here for about 15 years or more. |
