Recycling program highlights impact and growth in Arizona
A.J. Jerry Petrie of the Beverage Industry Recycling Program defends the industry led effort against litter, noting 50 million pounds collected over 50 years and more than 3 million dollars paid to the public. The program runs four centers, plans a fifth in Flagstaff, with a sixth due for Scottsdale Tempe by year end, handling 1.5 million pounds monthly and paying out over 125 thousand dollars. Aluminum 15 cents, steel one cent, glass and newspapers one half and one cent per pound respectively. Centers open Tuesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 30 p.m. Petrie argues the Arizona model proves voluntary participation and market creation work better than restrictive laws.
