Baltimore To Modernize Recycling Collection Program The city of Baltimore, Maryland, plans to deliver 200,000 curbside recycling carts to residents in the city and to launch a recycling education campaign to inform the public about the new carts and what can and cannot be recycled. The city has received investments for these carts and the education campaign from The Recycling Partnership, the American Beverage Association and Closed Loop Partners. The project also received a plastic resin donation from Dow for the recycling carts, lidded rollout recycling carts manu- factured by Rehrig Pacific and support from the Baltimore Civic Fund. The more than $10 million project is estimated to increase recycling output per household by 80 percent and generate as much as 40 million pounds of new recyclables each year. The program will also help collect and recycle 30 million new pounds of plastic over 10 years, including 16 million pounds of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The public-private initiative includes a $3.6 million invest- ment fromThe Recycling Partnership, Falls Church,Virginia, as well as $1.65 million from the American Beverage Asso- ciation’s Every Bottle Back initiative.The recycling program also received a $3 million investment from NewYork-based Closed Loop Partners’ Infrastructure Fund, which finances projects that grow and strengthen recycling and circular economy infrastructure in the United States. This collaboration will help Baltimore provide free, larger recycling carts to 200,000 households to collect and process more recyclable materials, including beverage bottles and cans.The city said its transition to automated recycling col- lection enables safer and more efficient collection efforts. It also reduces manual labor, prevents injury to collection staff and ensures continuity of service during labor shortages. The city said the delivery of free recycling carts is one of the key recommendations in the city’s Less Waste, Better Baltimore Plan.The initiative identified options for improv- ing solid waste diversion, recycling and disposal. Waste Pro, Longwood, Florida, has completed five acquisi- tions and has been awarded five new municipal contracts/ franchises in four different states over the last three months. The activities include the management of two landfills— the C&D Riverside Landfill in southern Louisiana and the Pine Belt SWA MSW Landfill in Petal, Mississippi—as well as three transfer stations in east Mississippi. Additionally, the company acquired Coastal Disposal and Mr.Trash in Florida. It also has acquired the residential busi- ness of MaudlinWaste in Pickens County, Georgia, the com- mercial business of Metro Container in Commerce, Georgia, and the commercial business of RES Inc. in Marshall County, Mississippi. Newmunicipal contracts and franchises were entered into in Assumption Parish, Louisiana; Collier County, Florida; Mal- abar, Florida; Creola,Alabama; and Mount Vernon,Alabama.
