What to do to start curbside recycling..

tbilbrey08

I'm wondering what I can do to help get curbside recycling going in my city.  Everyone that I've talked to about it has expressed and interest.  Who would I contact, should I send out a petition for those that would participate?

Try your elected officials

I would call my local council person, mayor, etc.

Tell them where you are and see if they can help. They are the largest recycler in North America!Single stream, too, so you can put bottles, cans, glass, papers all in one container. They sort it at the plant. Some of their plants recycle electronics, too.

Each of us can make a difference. Together we make THE difference!
