Municipal and county programs: recycling coordinators evaluate trends

Article Abstract:

Recycling managers are maintaining and adopting new programs to keep up with the continuing problem of waste disposal. The 1987 recycling bill required recycling coordinators to formulate plans regarding proper segregation of garbage for better collection and disposal. Recycling coordinators in such states as Pennsylvania, Texas, Philadelphia, New Jersey, evaluated recycling programs and found them to be effective. New programs are still being adopted to further improve the current state of waste disposal.

Article Abstract:

Solar Aquatics is a wastewater treatment process developed by John Todd at Ocean Arks International in Falmouth, MA. The process involves pumping wastewater into several tanks and filters to collect solid particles. These particles are then subjected to biological purification using plants and living organisms. The process has proven so successful that numerous fully-functioning Solar Aquatics treatment facilities have been established in Canada and the US.
