please tell me they can recycle plastic bags now?
Plastic bags are much harder to recycle, though some grocery stores do have recycling bins for plastic bags (Republic and Waste Management don’t accept them). The better option is to STOP USING THEM! Reusable bags work great! We have WAY too many plastic bags littering our communities, washing into the oceans, etc. Let’s all do our part to cut down on single-use plastic bags.
Can anybody confirm if Republic will accept glass in curbside pickup containers in Indianapolis?
Yes it will
Thank you, Lisa!
So, last week the City announces new trash and recycling vendors, not Republic. This week Republic opens a new high tech recycling facility with state and city incentives, all In Indianapolis, and they have no local recycling contracts. Pure logic, Indy style!
Republic well knew that the City’s waste contracts were all expiring (they in fact held City contracts), so they knew that they had to compete for new contracts and, therefore, they could be unsuccessful. Republic is a sophisticated global company so I’m sure weighed all of this when deciding to invest in Indy. So your snarky remark about Indy is misplaced.
Republic is the new sole recycling provider in Fishers
Two different businesses. This is a facility that will be fed by recyclable material from all around the country. Marion County would likely comprise only a small portion of the material. And, as the story points out, Waste Management will need to sell its material to someone, somewhere. They can sell it to Republic.
Republic has the recycling contract for Noblesville. I don’t know about other towns outside of Marion County.
And even if Republic had the contract for Marion County, that part of Republic would still be selling its material to the Republic division that operates the recycling facility. Separate businesses under the family name, but still have to account for the goods sold and purchased, and revenue flows.
It’s always appreciated when you respond to comments in a fair, very informative and mature manner. Well stated Tim!
And just a bit more, while trying to live up to Kevin P’s praise…
A CDL truck driver can drive up to 11 hours a day before stopping for a mandatory rest period. 11 hours of driving would get a driver who started near Minneapolis, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, BIrmingham, AL, Detroit, St. Louis, Columbus OH, and a lot of other towns and cities to Indy. There’s a reason Central Indiana and Indianapolis were known (during the days of trains) as the Crossroads of America. With the Interstate system, East to West and North to South are pretty easy, and readily get a truckload of about anything to Indy.
In all, good decision by Republic to site that plant here…
And who knows, maybe someday we’ll rebuild the rails, and then Indy becomes an even better decision.
Maybe if we ban plastic soda and water bottles (that’s most of what the recyclers are dealing with) then the micro plastics and waste goes away. Republic can switch from plastic to aluminum and glass which is much more lucrative to recycle.
And, soda from a plastic bottle really does not taste all that good.
