[GreenYes] Re: First Curbside Program

["Brewer, Gretchen, NMENV" <gretchen.brewer@no.address>]

Dear GreenYessers,

By my recollection, the Resource Center in Chicago, IL, started curbside
collection of newspapers, cans, and bottles in the Hyde Park and Kenwood
communities of the city in 1970.

Subject: [GreenYes] First Curbside Program


Can anybody tell me which city started the first curbside recycling
program in the U.S. and Canada? I've heard of several contenders for the
honor.
Probably there were several that started around the same time. But I
wonder whether it's possible to point to one as the first.

Thanks,
Susan
