Finally, some good news about recycling

Green-minded Midtown residents haven’t had a recycling drop-off center for more than a year now. Overland Park environmentalists have a single option for their empty glass bottles after one of their recycling sites shuttered last month. And even curbside collection is facing cut-backs: The budget crisis in Kansas City may reduce weekly blue-bin pick-up to just twice a month.

Yep, it’s been a rough year for recycling. But, finally, this week we get a small dose of good news.
