Mark,

According to the 1997 State Recycling Laws Update Year-End Edition,

Top waste diversion states for 1996 were:

Vermont- 35%
Iowa - 30%
CA - 26%
Missouri- 26%

Top 10 "Recycling" States were:

NJ - 42%
MN - 42%
FL - 40%
WI - 40%
WA - 39%
Arkansas- 36%
VT - 35%
OR - 34%
TN - 32.8%
MA - 32%

I'm copying Michele Raymond, author of SRLU, to see if she has a more updated
table she could share.
