ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Talking trash at the Library

TerraCycle Include USA
The Fairfield Library will be “talking trash” on Thursday, Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m.   For those who wonder whether a household item can be recycled and how, here’s their chance to get an overview of local options as Marg Dwyer, an executive committee member of the Southeast Iowa Sierra Club, will provide a status report and then explain Fairfield residents’ options for recycling locally thru Waste Management, Connelly Recycling, and Terra Cycle.   Recycling programs in the United States have undergone many changes, from pre-1992 curbside sorting, to offshore shipping, to China’s banned imports of foreign garbage. The industry has to reconsider its approach:   • Economics: When is recycling profitable? • Infrastructure: What technologies must be implemented? • Consumer packaging: What new regulations are proposed?
