Morris Minutes 10/13/11: Single-Stream Recycling Doesn't End at the Curb

Watching single-stream recycling in action from the Morris County MUA!
During July 2011, the MCMUA has already begun to collect residential recyclables in one can, as opposed to two or more, for those municipalities that agree to this change. There are a great many benefits to this type of "single-stream" recycling collection, including greater convenience for residents, additional materials that can put in with the recyclables, increases in the amount of recyclables collected, and improved efficiencies related to the collection of these materials. This will reduce traffic and save energy and money and will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
