County bolsters glass recycling - by pulling it from curbside

摘要

A local program in a populous area of northern Virginia is seeing positive results after shifting glass from curbside collection to drop-off. The effort has also set the stage for a hub-and-spoke system to serve the wider region. Over the course of several years, Virginia's Fairfax County has reworked its glass recycling strategy as the economics around its recycling program as a whole have shifted. The new drop-off program launched earlier this year, and curbside glass collection officially ended in October.
