Part II: Will Recycling in the U.S. become another casualty of the Economy?

On December 10th, the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) held an emergency workshop in Sacramento to address growing concerns that the recycling industry may grind to a halt if recyclers cannot find markets for the material they are keeping out of our landfills. With the world economy in tumult, the typical buyers who keep the recycling market alive have arrested purchasing, causing a stockpile of recyclable material that brokers must warehouse. If they cannot find a place to sell those materials, will they end up glutting our nation’s landfills? Today on Go Green Radio, I’ll talk with Margo Reid Brown, Chairman of the CIWMB, about this impending crisis. Tune into www.VoiceAmerica.com at 9 a.m. to hear the show live, or check out the archived podcast later today at http://www.modavox.com/voiceamericacms/WebModules/HostModaview.aspx?HostId=519&ChannelId=1&Flag=1
