Education is key to cleaning up our recycling streams. In my perspective, most folks sincerely care yet are confused. Yet I am not a single-stream recycling fan on any level - dual-stream with fibers separated from plastics, glass & metals is great.<br /><br />Again, thank you!<br /><br />HollyHolly Elmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320051691727973987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599502795777432649.post-85471668319518552102018-04-28T21:06:03.879-04:002018-04-28T21:06:03.879-04:00Tweeted to my followers - such a great explanation...Tweeted to my followers - such a great explanation of how it all works and putting plastics in perspective.<br />Thanks<br />Bren<br /><a href="http://www.stainlesssteelstraws.com.au/plastic-free-july/" rel="nofollow">Register Plastic Free July</a>Bren Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404782844612097635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599502795777432649.post-29410059422038265612017-04-12T04:53:57.418-04:002017-04-12T04:53:57.418-04:00Contamination does often result from consumer conf...Contamination does often result from consumer confusion. Far too often, consumers are not sure what goes where. They may put combustibles like newspaper in a bag that is intended only for things that cannot be made into paper products.

The template building is in a holding pattern right now.

In our area, a HUGE number of source-separated office programs that generated clean material for decades, have switched to single stream either because the tenants do it that way at home so they want to do the same at the office, OR because the trash hauler has convinced them it's "better." valerie2@vangelinc.comhttp://www.vangelinc.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599502795777432649.post-43296109009145119812016-11-26T09:20:01.071-05:002016-11-26T09:20:01.071-05:00Thanks so much Gary!
