Single-stream recycling to expand

By Sandy Bauers
Inquirer Staff Writer

The convenience of placing a range of recyclables in a single container for curbside pickup - "single stream," in industry parlance - will expand to 150,000 households in North Philadelphia and several lower Northeast neighborhoods on May 5, the city announced yesterday.
That means all city residences except about 80,000 homes in Northwest Philadelphia will have single-stream recycling, and those will be added in July, the Streets Department said.

With single stream, the city will pick up paper, cardboard, glass, plastic bottles, and tin and aluminum cans all mixed together.

In addition to North Philadelphia, the areas to be added next month are Northern Liberties, Frankford, Kensington, Logan, Olney and East Oak Lane.


And:

weekly collection in January 2009.
