Augusta May Try a New Single-Stream Recycling System

Augusta city councilors showed support for a proposed new single-stream recycling pilot program but wondered how the city would determine whether it was successful.

Residents could recycle more types of items without sorting them from each other under the proposed new single-stream program. According to the KJ, Ecomaine has an automated process that sorts the materials after they are collected. Residents still would need to separate their recyclables from their household rubbish, which still would go to Hatch Hill. (centralmaine.com)
