A weekly curbside recycling program has been approved in Waco, Texas, that will collect from about 32,000 households. The program is feasible because of a reduction in the car-based garbage collection from twice a week to once a week. Materials collected include newspaper, magazines and boxboard. To promote the new service, Debbie Branch, City of Waco Recycling Coordinator, is working with local grocers to print "Paper Recycling is in the Bag" on paper grocery bags.
