RE: [greenyes] Commercial Recycling and Local Government

["Reindl, John" <Reindl@no.address>]

In the State of Wisconsin, recycling is mandatory for all generators of all
sizes. The mandates began in 1991 and were phased in by type of material
through 1995,  covering used motor oil, lead-acid batteries; appliances;
tires; yard materials; newspapers; corrugated cardboard; magazines; office
paper; and plastic, metal and glass containers.

Communities only rarely provide collection service to businesses. Most
private waste haulers also provide for the collection and recycling of
materials.
