In Mich., It's Not Easy to Be Green
|
|
April 24, 2006 - The Detroit News
| | New Boston -- The Michigan Recycling Partnership issued a report criticizing the state's recycling programs. In 2004, the national recycling rate was 27 percent, whereas Michigan's was 20 percent. Michigan spent $200,000 on recycling-related programs while neighboring Wisconsin spent $29 million. The number of residents offered curbside service decreased to 27 percent. In Detroit, curbside recycling service is illegal so enough waste is available for the nearby trash incinerator. More national statistics are available in the report "The State of Garbage in America" published in BioCycle magazine.
