There have been long calls to make the recycling process more efficient as large amounts of recyclables often end up in landfills. A new program rolling out hopes to change that.“You’ll start to see it on common household products. It is a QR code appearing on packages. You scan the code enter your local zip code and then have your local recycling answer in seconds,” said Vice President of The Recycling Partnership Katherine Huded.
“People throw what they think should be recycled in the bin because they’re familiar with their recycling program in their town but it’s not necessarily the same,” Buch told ABC15. “You work in one place, live in one place, travel to other communities for evenings or on weekends and all these places have different recycling standards.”
The hope is Recycle Check will make things easier for people at home and improve the efficiency of recycling in Arizona.
