Recycle this! After years of neglect on the issue, the City started 2009 auspiciously with the unveiling and rapid ramp–up of a Citywide curbside, single–stream recycling program. While consumer usage initially didn’t match the City’s sense of urgency, the user side has picked up steam and is now running at about 50 percent usage — actually a pretty competitive number, nationally speaking, which amounts to about 500 tons of recyclables a month.
