Default Recycling




Glad Vinny made the posting about recycling. As a gentle reminder, the term "garbage recycling' in inaccurate. Garbage consists of materials being discarded. Recycling consists of materials which are being given a chance to be re-purposed/reused.
Glad Barefoot reminds us all that all our small efforts count (....like participating in recycling).
The answer given by Redwitch is rather incomplete. If Sumter County does or does not 'mandate' recycling participation, the STATE OF FLORIDA has a collective goal to recycle 75% by the year 2020. How are we doing so far? Well, in 2013, Marion County was recycling approximately 48%. Lake County was recycling approximately 33%. Sumter County was recycling ONLY approximately 21%. How do you think we're doing so far?
