Metro Waste To Build $24M Des Moines Recycling Center

摘要

Plans for a proposed $24 million recycling center in Polk County, Iowa, will move forward to ensure paper sorted for recycling is no longer dumped in a landfill, officials said. Environmentally aware Des Moines residents were frustrated after learning that nearly 20 tons of recycled paper ended up in the landfill every day last summer after the metro's recycling company couldn't find a buyer.
