Hartsfield-Jackson Airport Launches New Recycling Program

摘要

Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport reported the launch of a recycling program that calls for airport visitors to throw trash and recyclables into the same container, reported The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. A contractor later sorts recyclables from waste, a move the airport expects will reduce the amount of trash it sends to landfills by 50 percent after a year and by 70 percent after two years. About 250,000 people visit Hartsfield-Jackson daily, and nearly 70 tons of trash is generated each day.
