It's getting rough out there at the curb. Placing our trash and recycle bins out for collection is a bit more labor-intensive in some communities.
Rogue Disposal & Recycling, which serves Medford and surrounding communities, had to change the items it would accept in recycling, now that China has sharply reduced the materials it will accept.
Laura Leebrick from Rogue joins us to talk about the challenges of recycling with new rules.
Also on the panel: Laura McKaughan from the Northern California Recycling Association, Sarah Grimm from Lane County Public Works and Brian Fuller from Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality. Our guests get into what can and can't be recycled now.
BONUS: The video piece from Grist about recycling misconceptions.
