Milwaukee’s recycling program has begun moving over to “single-stream” recycling. What is single-stream recycling? Simply a style of recycling which does not have near the sorting requirements of traditional recycling where different types of glass metal and plastics are separated depending on the material. Not only will Milwaukee’s move to single-stream make recycling more convenient for participants, it will also enable Milwaukee to accept more types of material such as used pots and pans. The change to Milwaukee’s recycling plan will also reduce the use of oil which is also a plus. Overall, the transition to single-stream recycling for Milwaukee sounds like an excellent move!
