Recycling is at a crossroads

There is a lot of conflicting information out there regarding recycling lately. SECCRA, as a collector and processor of recyclables, are up against some major challenges with the soaring cost of recycling. As a result we may need to make some changes to how and what we recycle. Simply put, at this time, many of the commodities collected for recycling simply have no value, or worse, negative value. It has become that the way we are recycling now is costing more than simply landfilling the materials. We need your help to change this.
