Recycling+in+Abington

Three years ago, Abington threw away their trashy recycling program and put in a brand new one. This program is a user-friendly system. It is free for the homeowners.

Since the new recycling program in Abington went into affect "three years ago" recycling has gone up by "25%." The amount of trash has been reduced by"20%." The amount in weight of recyclables is 800 tons last year,"500 tons of paper," and "300 tons of plastic,” The plastic goes to Blue Mountain Recycling and the paper goes to Newman’s paperboard. The new system made recycling easier. They provided three trashcans. The trashcans are plastic, paper and regular trash. They also got a new automated trash truck that makes lives easier for the trash men. Though there are issues with this new system. It eliminates jobs because of the new trash truck and trashcans are left in awkward spaces because people don’t put your trashcans down. Also, you have to buy extra trashcans if you need them. But, this motivates you to recycle more because you have to fit all of your trash in one can. To fit your trash in the can you can recycle to leave less trash to go in your trashcan. The superintendant of Abington Recycling is David Manzinger.
