Single stream vs. source separated recycling

Article Abstract:

Eureka Recycling conducted a study with the city of St. Paul, Minnesota, comparing five recycling collection methods, which varied by frequency, type of containers used, types of materials collected, and how materials were separated. The study demonstrated that by carefully implementing important changes in what and how the city of St. Paul recycles, the recycler could control costs, improve convenience and divert 74 percent of the discards that households generate through composting and recycling.
