TV 7 Reports on UMaine Recycling Efforts

Channel 7 (WVII) reported on a UMaine School of Economics research project that examines the contents of trash in Maine being sent to landfills and incinerators that could be reused or recycled at a substantial solid waste cost savings. Students Travis Blackmer and Karl Chandler explained how the university’s new single-sort systems works and how consumers and municipalities can benefit from reducing some of the things being thrown away.
