Re: [greenyes] Commercial Recycling Ordinance

[Gary Liss <gary@no.address>]

Rose,

Hawthorne, CA just adopted a new Commercial Recycling Ordinance that we 
drafted for them.  For a copy, go to: 
http://www.cityofhawthorne.com/psrv_hawrcy-ord1770.pdf

For an overview of different Business Recycling policies adopted around CA, 
check out the case study we did for the CIWMB in 2000 entitled "Business 
Recycling Policies and Plans" at:

If you'd like to discuss the details of these, email or call me.
