RE: [greenyes] Recycling and public transportation

The report is 10 years old at this point, but I wrote the report that
was used to design the system in Boston.  As part of the research, I
looked at several other major urban transit systems around North
America.  The report can be found at:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: [greenyes] Recycling and public transportation

New Jersey is looking for information on recycling programs in place in
major cities/metropolitan areas, in terms of their public
transportation.  For example, the Metro in Washington, DC, the T in
Boston, and especially the commuter rail systems leading in and out of
the cities.
 
Do you know of a successful recycling program in place in such a
situation?  How is it set up? Newspaper only, or are they collecting
bottles and cans as well?
 
Any info or contacts are appreciated!
Thanks!
