Recycling weekly Dec.​ 2,​ 2020 | This week's recycling news and insights for industry leaders Note from the editor As previewed in our last recycling newsletter, Waste Dive has been working to update its curbside recycling cancellation list. We took a little extra time to finalize the details and I'm excited to share it with you today. Long-time readers may recall this started last year after we wrapped a two-year project of tracking recycling changes across the country. This year, we've continued to see changes driven by financial pressures and compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our updated list takes all of that into account and includes new contextual details. We also reconfirmed each entry, and excluded entries where it couldn't be confirmed that the curbside recycling program remains inactive. Reader tips have been a key resource throughout, so if you have updates to share about potential additions or subtractions please get in touch. We plan to continue updating this regularly and welcome any feedback on how to improve it.
