The Local Recycling Crisis – What’s Wrong and How Do We Fix It?

This episode features a conversation on recycling at the local level, proposed extended producer responsibility legislation in New York State, and policies that have reduced importation of recycled materials that have led to a global recycling crisis. NYSAC’s Multimedia Specialist Kate Pierce is joined by Dawn Timm, Director of Niagara County’s Division of Environmental and Solid Waste, and Vice Chair of the New York Product Stewardship Council to discuss the state of local recycling and how to make it sustainable.
