4 thoughts on “Pilot project to boost Marion County’s low recycling rate getting mixed reviews

    1. Yeah… An individual house hold has to pay out of pocket to even get a recycling bin and on top of that Republic doesn’t even accept things like plastic bags.

      It takes a little practice, but I think our household is recycling at rate of about 2 parts landfill to 1 parts recycling, so maybe 30%. 5% is dismal but understandable.

  1. The graphic is a bit misleading. The tonnage “sent to the landfill” is actually a combined number of tonnage sent to the landfill & to the Covanta Incinerator. Meaning the tonnage sent to the landfill is much less than reported here.

  2. One of the most successful options for recycling newspapers has been halted. The green and yellow Abitibi dumpsters located at schools and other public locations have disappeared! Rumor was that the company/resources were bought out by either WMI or Republic. Sure hope another option develops!
