By Tom Benzene I think people would like to make recycling simpler. So we have to make it easy and simple for them. Co-mingled collections are the best way to do this. By Mike Tregent Whilst not a one size fits all solution, source-segregation provides the best quality recyclate and should reduce unecessary sorting and handling.
