Waste Not?  The Costs and Benefits of Recycling
What goes into our bins; who sorts it and how; at what costs; in what form does it return; is it worth the effort?
Is the City's plan for recycling Big Brother or a Big Help?

Agenda:Alexandria will examine this controversy in the October program. Experts will discuss what is recycled and to what markets, with what costs and with what results.

The end products may surprise you. The City proposed to imbed chips in the new recycling bins to find out where more emphasis should be put on neighborhood recycling. That provoked a lively debate.

Come out on October 25 to hear all the details and perhaps win one of our many, many unusual door prizes from recycled materials.
