Starting in September, residents of Harford County, Md., will be seeing a change in the way recyclables are collected.
The county has signed a contract with Houston-based Waste Management Recycle America to convert its curbside recycling program to the single-stream method. The program is slated to begin the week of Sept. 12, 2010.
David Craig, Harford County executive, says, “Harford County’s partnership with WM Recycle America will not only meet the county’s global goals of conserving resources and energy, but will also result in a savings of over $400,000 per year to the county’s operating budget.”
He continues, “The single-stream recycling program will be much more convenient for the county residents and will allow additional items to be recycled, thereby encouraging more participation and reducing how much waste is placed in our landfill.”
