It must be noted that neighbouring Iowa City, North Liberty as well as cities in Linn County already offers single-stream recycling services to consumers.
A United Kingdom-based metals recycling company has been fined £1.2 million (US$1.5 million) after a worker was injured after being struck by a skip loader truck at a processing site.
For anyone who can’t wait until next year to recycle their electronics, Lovejoy recommends recycling with the Waste Reduction District of Monroe County (WRD), formerly known as the Monroe County Solid Waste District.
The new initiative will allow stores to accept a wide variety of electronic items, which include televisions, computers, mobile devices, gaming systems, telephones and toasters.
