Will Recycling in the U.S. become another casualty of the Economy? - a podcast by Jill Buck

Recycling is economically possible because there is a market for recyclable goods.

Recyclers are stockpiling recyclable materials in hopes of an upturn in the market, but if that doesn’t occur, how long before our recyclables end up in landfills? Listen in to find out what professionals in the recycling industry in America are doing to maintain our commitment to recycling.
