A Local View of the Recycling Heap

Listen Thursday, Jan. 21, 2010 at 1:35 p.m. in Economy, Environment, Politics

Localities across the country boast robust recycling programs among their environmental initiatives. But measuring the effectiveness of those recycling programs is a tricky science. We explore who's been taking care of their trash most efficiently, what's working and what's broken -- and what local leaders can learn from those leading the pack.
