City Of Dallas Launches Carton Recycling

摘要

The City of Dallas has launched a new effort to add food and beverage cartons as part of its residential curbside recycling program. Dallas will reportedly be the first major city in Texas to have a carton recycling program, and boosts the number of households nationally that have access to carton recycling. The effort is supported by the Carton Council, a collaborative of carton manufacturers committed to expanding carton recycling in the U.S. "Dallas is proud to be the first big city in Texas to make sure that liquid food and beverage cartons are recycled and kept out of landfills," said Mary Nix, Director of Sanitation Services. "Carton recycling is good for our customers and for the environment." Under the new initiative, residents will be able to place all empty cartons - such as milk and juice cartons, along with soup and broth, soy milk and wine cartons - in their blue recycling bins or community recycling drop off containers.
