RE: [greenyes] Seattle Mayor Proposing Bans on Recyclables

Hooray for Seattle!  In sharp contract, Portola Valley has begun a program 
where all garbage and yard trimmings will be mixed together in a single 
truck compartment.  The whole enchilada will be processed to remove 
contaminants, coarse-shredded and composted.  Of course, the goal of both 
systems is to reduce landfilling.  Very different approaches.  Here is an 
article on Portola Valley's program.
