The state of garbage in America

Article Abstract:

The article offers a regional breakdown of waste management in America, focusing on recycling, incineration and landfilling.

In the last decade, however, the nation's aggregate recycling percentage has quadrupled, going from 8% in 1990 to 32% in 2001.
