Recyling Web site for northeastern Wisconsin

From an article by Lee Bergquist in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

A group of Wisconsin communities has assembled a new Web site with information designed to help people become better recyclers.

It's called Recycle More Wisconsin and was created by the Be SMART coalition, a group of municipalities formed in 1995 to reduce the waste going into landfills.

The Web site was created this month because research showed there were barriers to recycling.

A survey of 400 residents in northeastern and southeastern Wisconsin found that 93% of people said they recycled regularly, but 36% said they were only recycling "sometimes."

Also, people younger than 35 are less likely to recycle, the survey found.

Plastic bottles, aluminum cans, glass and newspapers are regularly recycled, but mixed paper such as junk mail frequently is not, according to the survey.
