In other news, the City of Lansing launched it's revamped recycling program renamed Capital Area Recycling & Trash (CART). It's a single-stream program, which I'm guessing means that they hope they bring in many of the folks who've been too lazy to divide their recyclables. The goal is to increase the city's capacity from 2,000 tons a year to 8,000. This will also be aided by the fact that the new program will also increase the type of items it takes in. If they reach their goal the annual price to a household would be lowered to.
The long-term goal of the city's public service department is to get neighboring municipalities to buy into the city's program to make this regional to really cut down on emissions and landfill space, so I hope this is successful.
