Kansas Tackles Recycling Market With Grants and Pick-Up Push
Kansas recycles about 10 percent of trash, far below the national 25 percent. Over $3.8 million has funded 14-site tours and equipment purchases at operations like Franklin County Recycling Center, with grants aiding the Lake Region Solid Waste Authority. The program stresses household pick-up, improved markets for recyclables, and a pay-as-you-waste fee structure to boost community recycling.
