Brenda, Biocycle does have a very good report on wasting and recycling
rates. If you don't have the report I can fax it to you or you can call
them at 610-967-4135.
" On a state by state basis, 20 states showed an increased recycling rate
over last year, while 11 reported declinies. North Carolina's rate rose
6%....."
