There are only two households on my block that recycle, and we are one of them. Increasing what items are accepted is one thing, but not so helpful if only 5-10% of the residents are participating.\r\n\r\n@jmkauer replies:\r\n\r\n> The best practice would be a public education program.  We can include\r\nsomething in our next Newsletter.  This maybe something we look at when we\r\nredo our trash collection contract this summer.  The Borough has made a\r\ngrant request to the DEP for technical assistance in improving our trash /\r\nrecycling contract, so this is something we will certainly aim to improve\r\nduring that process.
