the trashbasher: Recycling in Millbrae, CA
http://trashbasher.blogspot.com/2011/11/recycling-in-millbrae-ca.html
Making haste toward zero waste. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Recycling in Millbrae, CA. I was at my mom's on recycling day, so I took some pics of Millbrae's collection service. The city does a 2-sort system, as you can see on this cart, which has a divider in the middle. Then the recycling truck came by. Millbrae is serviced by SSF Scavenger. And I was surprised to see the automated arm dump the cart's contents into one hopper . The cul-de-sac seemed to be a real challenge. View my complete profile.

Making haste toward zero waste. Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Keiko's zero-waste Christmas party. Meet Green Goddess Keiko. She's every bit as waste-reduction conscious as I am (she's responsible for getting the Linden Hills Festival to go zero-waste), and even more environmentally conscious. We went to her holiday party this year, and it was a nice change of pace to be attending an event without having to worry about the waste! No trash-digging for me tonight. Bins for plastic and glass. How and where to ...

the trashbasher: Multi-sort recycling in Minneapolis
http://trashbasher.blogspot.com/2011/12/multi-sort-recycling-in-minneapolis.html
Making haste toward zero waste. Saturday, December 3, 2011. Multi-sort recycling in Minneapolis. Those of us who live in Minneapolis have probably seen the compartmentalized recycling truck on our street, but what does picking up all that separated material involve? To do some research for a comparison of two-sort and single-sort recycling, I did a ridealong, and I have one word for you: strenuous. I went with Pat, who also does the collecting for the two-sort recycling pilot program. Hi, Matt, yeah, its...
