This is not a new idea, but one that needs to be included on this site.

For over 20 years, I officed in an industrial business park in north central Phoenix that housed many companies. Every night, Waste Management emptied full dumpsters that contained a huge amount of otherwise recyclable material.

I can't imagine how much this one location contributed to the land fill. Multiply that citywide, over 20 years. The volume is staggering and is a huge opportunity lost.

It's long overdue that we provide recycling for businesses and commercial buildings in Phoenix.

I know others, elsewhere have been championing (Stacey) this. Let's push this through now.
