I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US and I have seen improvement in how our local garbage facility has stepped up it's recycling plans. They have added numerous large containers to recycle glass, paper, cardboards, plastics and household batteries. They also now have a recyling program in all of the local schools and put bins in the parking lots. This past year they have areas to drop off electronics, yard waste, car batteries and used motor oil. They also have a St Vincent Depaul truck for donations parked inside the dump area. They just started a whole new curbside recyling program and provided every one with blue bins that are as big as the trash cans. It is really much more convenient to recycle now in our area than it ever has been. It would be nice if this could be done at all the garbage facilities across the US.
I hope the US learns from the UK and then implements new and better ways to recycle on a larger scale.

UK recycling programs beat USA's hands down.

That's really good news, Shortpoet! I don't drink soda, but I like the fact that they are partnering with Coca Cola. If more companies worked towards helping to recycle, things would be a lot easier. The more companies that are on board instead of fighting recycling I think the more we'll see progress in this field.
I note that in the article it states the Coca Cola has committed to recycling all plastic bottles at the Olympics and Paralympics in London. That is great!!!
